Description

This is another image taken by Lester Christopher and post processed by me. It was taken at my favorite dark site in the Uinta Mountains southeast of Salt Lake City. The altitude there is nearly 10,000 feet and it is close to a bortle 2. I try to get up to that site as often as possible with my imaging group.
