Description

The image was captured using an Olympus EPL3 micro 4-thirds camera and 17mm lens set at f3.2, 2 minute exposure with ISO 800 and custom WB. No moon, elevation of 9157 feet and clear skies made for a good image. Light pollution from the city of Tucson illuminates the Jamison Telescope dome on the left and the decommissioned radar dome on the right. But also, washes out a portion of the Milky Way on the lower right quarter of the image.
