Sunrise over the LBT

Acquisition type: Lucky imaging

Description

This is a shot of the Sun rising perfectly behind the silhouette of the Large Binocular Telescope situated atop of Mount Graham, AZ.

This picture was taken from the summit of Mount Lemmon that is about 55 miles (89.22 km precisely) from the Large Binocular Telescope.

The elevation of the two peaks is similar: 9171ft (2795m) for Mount Lemmon and 10700ft (3269m) for Mount Graham. This makes it a perfect match for a silhouette picture during the only two mornings of the year when the Sun rises perfectly aligned with the two summits.
