High Altitude Sunset

Description

While we were waiting for it to get dark I took this photo of the sunset. This is a high altitude plateau in the Uinta Mountains in northern Utah. We were nearly at 10,000 feet at this location. The skies are a Bortle 2 overhead with just a little sky glow in the west. We can do long exposures without worrying about light pollution. 

Living in northern Utah I am used to being surrounded by some fairly large mountain. This area where we were imaging is so high we were level with the tops of the surrounding mountains. The sky is incredibly beautiful there. I saw the double cluster with just my eyes for the first time. Pretty amazing.
