Description
The core region of Milky Way rising behind the Toadstool.
When I am at a real dark sky location, I am always amazed how well the stars are visible along the horizon. While shooting nightscapes at the Toadstool, I stood in wonder when I noticed how dark the sky was in the direction of the rising Milky Way.
This is not a composite.The golden color on the horizon is the light of millions of stars rising behind the Toadstool, while the black areas are dark clouds of cosmic dust. Also visible to the right of the Hoodoo are the Lagoon Nabula (M8), Trifid Nebula (M20) and the bright starlike planet Saturn.
