Shot at the Chaco Culture National Historic Park (https:--www.nps.gov-chcu-index.htm ). I love to shoot the blue hour as a prelude to a Milky Way shoot. It gives me some opportunities to scout the terrain, get some landscape images that can be blended later, and on nights like this one, add some rich color to the night sky! Fajeda Butte makes a strong feature on the horizon. A little bit of cloud cover in the distance is lit from Crownpoint. And the beautiful center of our galaxy reaches upward, arching almost directly overhead. Shot with my Canon 70D, Rokinon 14mm, f2.8 lens, with 10 sky images (ISO 3200, 10s) processed using Starry Landscape Stacker. Cheers!
