Description
Star trails above 4 of the Mauna Kea telescopes in Hawai`i. From left to right is the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope, Gemini North, University of Hawaii 88", and UK Infrared Telescope. The Milky Way can be seen as the milky band behind the telescopes.
Story: I had set up my camera to take a time lapse video of these 4 telescopes, and a few hours later drove my truck up to the ridge to set up another camera to capture the Milky Way rising above Hilo. I parked by the UH88" telescope (2nd from right). After I set everything up I drove my truck down the ridge, unintentionally creating a beautiful trail of red light lighting up not only the road, but also the telescopes above.
