Taken around midnight last week in Karval, Colorado, near the reservoir, a really dark site that ranks as a Class 2 site on the Bortle Scale, located about an hour and a half east of Colorado Springs.

Besides the Milky Way, you can see Jupiter rising above the horizon, and a shooting star in the upper left. The three lights on the horizon are the towns of Pueblo, La Junta, and Trinidad, all in southeast Colorado.

I used a Canon 6D DSLR camera and a Rokinon 14mm F2.8 ultra wide lens.
