Milky Way in the Mountains

Some of the mountain areas northwest of Los Angeles are dark enough for a quick trip to shoot the Milky Way.

Milky Way in Lockwood Valley.

The Milky Way shines over a grove of pine trees in the southern Lockwood Valley. This was taken using a star tracker for 20 30 second exposures and then stacked. I'm really happy with the color in the nebula.
