under extremely dark skies during the new moon the Milky Way is nothing less than sensational.
My camp along Mexican Mountain Road in the northern San Rafael Swell. I estimated that the core of the Milky Way would rise between Window Blind Peak (left) and Assembly Hall Peak (right). That’s the San Rafael River near the center of the image.
Silhouetted selfie with the Milky Way. All alone. Sublime.
