Moon glow from the rising quarter moon, directly behind Balanced Rock, Arches National Park. The midnight moonlight from the rising moon is overpowering all but the brighter stars. However, you can clearly see Pleiades, the Seven Sisters constellation (Messier object 45 or M45) to the right. Light painting for Balanced Rock is coming from a stationary, reflected quartz halogen spotlight (2-million candlepower) about 300 feet away.
Milky Way stars over 'The Organ' in Arches National Park. The Organ has been light painted from a distance of about 700 feet by a single, stationary quartz halogen light (from camera right). The glow on the right horizon is from the moon, which will rise in another 30 minutes. Camera direction is northeast.
Starry Night sky over Balance Rock in Arches National Park. As tall as 23 men, or a 13-story building --the total height of Balanced Rock is about 128 feet (39 m), with the balancing rock rising 55 feet (16.75 m) above the base. The big rock on top is the size of three school buses. This sandstone formation has been light painted from a distance of about 450 feet by a moving, diffused, quartz halogen light (from camera left). Camera direction is northeast. Photographed about three hours after sunset.
Stars over Tetons at Oxbow Bend, Grand Teton National Park
