Milky Way Time Lapse
Milky Way Time Lapse: This is a single frame from time lapse series of the Milky Way rising over the Old Fort Lewis Observatory. The frame rate is 15 frames/sec. After a couple of hours the waning crescent moon rose, and then dawn washed out everything. The glow on the horizon is Farmington - encroaching more and more every year. The white streak is from when I walked across with a flashlight.
