Standing on the Shoulders of Giants
This photograph comes from the heart of the Sierra La Giganta in Baja California Sur, Mexico, following a two-day expedition from the small village of San Juan Londo. The final approach required an ascent of more than 800 metres by mule along a long-forgotten section of the historic Camino Real, once used by vaqueros and their donkeys to transport goods between remote settlements.

Astronaut Don Pettit took this photo from space in January 2025, as the Sun began to rise over a cloudy Pacific Ocean. This long-exposure image shows off the wide band of the Milky Way, our home galaxy, above the aurora and airglow that shine closer to Earth's horizon.

I sometimes try to capture #NightScape scenes in #TerraNovaNP campground (Newman Sound) that folks might find recognizable. And perhaps the park might find useful for promotional purposes.
Pretty happy with how this one turned out. Even captured some #Airglow.
This was captured later in September. Might not have been possible earlier in the season as the park still has work to do addressing #LightPollution generated by "uninformed" campers.

The Milky Way glowing above the horizon with natural airglow.
Captured on 2025-09-24/25
Pure night magic under the stars.

More 2023 astro musings ...
During the summer, I get to spend some time in my "local" #DarkSkyPreserve - #TerraNovaNP. 2023 did not disappoint.
When conditions permit, I like to use a wide field lens and take in the Milky Way and landscape. And occasionally I corral a meteor or two along the way.
If I get lucky, I sometimes snag some #AirGlow ripples or a #MeteorSmokeTrail (like the one here, captured Aug 12)!

In addition to the #Airglow phenomena, I am mesmerized by watching our beautiful #Earth with its protective atmosphere bubble rotating in the vastness of #space. There we are. That’s us! All of humanity, each individual person’s life, their thoughts, struggles & triumphs. Every Country, every #race, every #species, every #SentientBeing, every #molecule. Absolutely #breathtaking ! -
It is particularly satisfying to capture #AirGlow in my summer #NightScape pictures. Seen here as horizontal bands of green & purple. Need dark sky location to capture it. Technically, it (& the Milky Way) are natural forms of #LightPollution.
Towards constellation Auriga, you are looking through the Milky Way, but away from the MW center. So, much less stars - but dark patches/nebula are still obvious.

The Milkyway from Whangamata, Aotearoa with some of the most intense airglow I’ve ever come across!!
Plan on hosting a workshop or two here next season. Watch this space!

We can clearly see #airglow as well on this #photography I took from the #ESO #LaSilla #observatory, in #Chile 🇨🇱 .
This #FullSky #picture shows the #MilkyWay crossing the #sky above the #exoplanet hunter 3.6-m #telescope, currently used now by @asmasca.
The #orange light surrounding the sky, at the horizon, is not light pollution (there are some from the #Panamerica #highway), but #airglow.
