Description

On the final two nights on our visit to the Colorado Rockies, the skies were dark and the stars brilliant. I used this window to shoot the Elephant's Trunk Nebula in SHO, and today I finished processing the image. We saw bears in the general vicinity of our cabin, but luckily I had no encounters when out shooting in this remote mountain environment!

This image is a compilation of 75 exposures of 600s each for 12.5 hours total.
