On my last trip to Estes I had one night to try to capture the Milky-way. It was the first night there. The other nights were too cloudy and the moon was waxing too. I dragged my buddy Tom with with me to experience the stars in the darkness.

Later I tried Live Composite in camera, stacking in Photoshop and just processing in Lightroom. This is from Lightroom. The others were no better.

It was a nice night- clear, comfortable temps, no wind. A pack of coyotes were howling in the meadow, they were having a good time too.
