Description

Taken during the first night on my trip out to Lajitas and Big Bend Ranch State Park for the Geminids Meteor Shower. I was absolutely blown away by the color that I could see on the back of camera from a single one minute exposure. But I guess that's what you get when you're in some of the darkest skies in the country. Compared to the quick Gimp edit, the StarTools edit shows more of the surrounding dust but loses out on clarity for the Horsehead.
