Spectacularly clear night in West Horseshoe Park, RMNP. The milky way above the Mummy Range was a thrill to observe and photograph. The moon did not rise for another hour. This 8:45pm on 1/20/14 image was the darkest moment of the night. Canon 5Dmk3, Canon 24-105mm f/4L IS USM, f/4, 25s, ISO 5000, lens focal length 24mm. I'm aiming to the NW, which is the darkest part of the sky (least light pollution from the megalopolis).

One of the few photos with a title that's trying to be smart and actually is. Nice shot.
