Enjoyed going outside before the moon rise at 4:27 AM MST to capture the Milky Way Galaxy in it's glory and splendor from high on our Ridge overlooking the Spanish Peaks and San Luis Valley below. Look forward to getting my wide angle lens for next shots. Had many Milky Way photos to choose from, as well as, Orion and the Pleiades in the east were pristine and saw many shooting stars along with many airplanes, which made waiting for them to clear, fun, to imagine the next shots and their angles. Pleasant night with no wind and cool temperatures, sublime. ^_^
