Star Party at Cherry Springs Park, Pa

This place is amazing! The darkest skies and the most stars I have ever seen. These shots are pretty much SOOC with a little light adjustments in LR. The red lights are because that is all that is allowed in the viewing area. Red lights are less destructive to night vision than white lights.

Cherry Springs is located in the middle of the 262,000-acre Susquehannock State Forest, making it very remote, and very dark.
