Description

I spent last night at the summit of Mauna Kea on the Big Island of Hawaii, during our family vacation.  I found a good spot next to the decommissioned Caltech Submillimeter Observatory at an elevation of 13,570ft.  Unfortunately, freezing temperatures, high humidity, and strong winds made for an unpleasant and largely unproductive night.  This is the only usable image I have to show for it.
