Ben Coffman Photography captured this beautiful photo of the Milky Way over Crater Lake in Oregon. He wrote:

Hi, Earthsky, I wanted to share this panorama of the Milky Way over Crater Lake that I took Saturday night. You can see a few Lyrids in the photo (3 small ones on the left, in the Milky Way, and one larger one in the top right of the Milky Way). Andromeda can be seen near the tree to the left. Thanks for taking a look!
