Date: 3/25/04
Location: Arches National Park, UT
Camera: Canon Digital Rebel (300D) using EF 55-200 4.5/5.6 II USM Lens @ 55mm
Exposure: 15 seconds, ISO 400, f/4.5
Processing: Image captured in JPG format. Slight star trailing was removed, curves and levels adjusted in PS.
Comments: This image was taken at our campsite at the Devil's Garden Campground in the park. The Pleiades open-cluster (M45) is visible in the upper left and Venus is just above the tree tops. Glow from the first quarter moon can be seen in the high clouds just above M45. The sandstone formations were lit by lights and fires from other campsites.© Dave Dockery 2004
