Description

This was taken from my favorite dark sky site in Western Kansas.  I knew there was dust, but the dark skies really helped to bring that out in this photo!

The stars in the corners are a little elongated, and there is a little weirdness with the shapes.  Let me know your thoughts, or suggestions!

Clear Skies!
