The City of Rocks and Stars

Introduction

International dark sky park + new moon

If you’re not familiar with the City of Rocks, it’s an international dark sky park near Burley, Idaho. I went there with a few friends a few days before a new moon, which made for a potentially perfect night of shooting. That said, this was only my fourth time doing astrophotography and my second attempt at shooting during a new moon.

Amazing...

If you’ve seen my other astrophotography, you know what long-exposure shots look like with the moon in the frame. Without the moon and with almost no light pollution, the night sky and the Milky Way look absolutely incredible.
