Breathtaking. Thanks a lot for such a beautiful picture! I wish you could add captions for the main stars and constellations in there! It would be very useful for us inner-city stargazers who have NEVER seen live a night sky like this one in our entire lives!

November 23, 2010 at 3:19 pmThanks for your comments regarding my Death Valley night sky photograph.
It was taken in February this year about 10pm looking south west.
It’s a view of the winter Milky Way including the constellations of
Orion, seven sisters and Taurus.
It is amazing what can be seen at night from a dark location like
Death Valley any night of the year and any time of night
All the best
Wally
