Dark Sky over Glacier National Park
I am traveling in Montana and visited Glacier National Park this week. The lack of light pollution and the close to new moon produced a beautiful starry night. Luck had it that I could follow the milky way across the East-South sky on one clear night. Since the sun only sets after 9pm and the dusk lingers for a long time, it was well after midnight when the stars fully appeared. Having scouted out a location near a lake, I hoped for reflection of the stars in the water and was well rewarded.

I will write more about my current travel in a later blog.
Til next time,
