A Glimpse of the Cosmos from Kansas Skies
Even with the persistent glow of distant lights, the allure of a dark sky location can reveal the wonders of the universe. This recent expedition to a minimal light pollution area in Kansas, timed perfectly with a new moon, offered a chance to capture the celestial tapestry.
While it's a challenge to completely escape human-made light, the effort is often rewarded with stunning views. This image, captured with a Canon Rebel R7 at ISO 1600 and a Samyang 14mm f/2.8 lens, showcases the dedication required to bring the cosmos closer.
The beauty of the night sky, even with a few visible city lights in the distance, is a testament to the enduring fascination with the stars. It's a reminder of the vastness that surrounds us, waiting to be explored, one clear night at a time.
