Northern Milky Way nightscape from Mauna Kea
Grabbed this from the Mauna Kea visitors station during my Hawaii trip back in Late/Jan early Feb. It was pretty rushed as I only had 20 minutes to assemble tripod, camera and lens, find a location out the back of the carpark with a view of the northern Milky Way and then pack up and get back on the bus before it departed back down to Hilo.
The red on the tree branches is from the red-light torches of local astronomers who run sky tours for visitors there. You can see Andromeda Galaxy on the left of frame and Capella is the bright star at top of frame/middle right.
Pentax K-5, Samyang 14mm f2.8, 20 seconds at ISO 2500
