Light Pollution - Bishop California [C_009538]
From White Mountain (adjacent to Bishop, in eastern central California) the Milky Way manages to shine despite the increasing light leakage from Bishop to the west and several large towns in Nevada to the east.
This is a 4000 ISO shot at f/2.8, 30 seconds, 16mm. I took it on the same night that I took the horizon to horizon vertorama of the Milky Way.
This image was taken near the Grand Vista View north of the Grand View Campground area frequented by astronomers. Even though this was taken well after sunset, most of what you see is light pollution from Bishop scattering in the low thin clouds. I'm excited to be going even higher up on the mountain and spending 3+ nights there in August as I teach a workshop with Harold Davis and the Point Reyes National Seashore Association. (Sorry, no space left it sold out in 4 days!)
Later, in November, I'll be back with the StarCircleAcademy gang for our annual Alabama Hills workshop. There are still a few spots left in that workshop.
