Description

This was a great night for landscape astrophotography. Few months planning this image and I felt lucky enough to be there in such a clear night.

We drove a quadricycle for an hour and then another hour walking in a gorgeous night, into the Park.

Throughout the night I had to redo the polar alignment a few times in order to capture the proper photographic composition. My idea for this photo was to capture Jupiter and the Rho Ophiuchi region filling the gap between the mountains.

Tricky job to do PA in the middle of the woods. Extremely fun, nevertheless! Jupiter gave a great show during this amazing astrophotography night. Gorgeous!
