Milky Way from the House of the Sun

Being able to see further south than most
places in the U.S. is one of the attractions of
observing from Hawaii. This is a wide
angle shot of the "summer" Milky Way as seen
from about 10,000 feet on Mt. Haleakala (House
of the Sun) on the island of Maui. The area
south of the Scorpion's tail is not visible
from many places in the U.S.
The blurred dark area at lower left in the
photo is the horizon. The camera was aligned
north-south for the shot which caused the
horizon to tilt for this early morning shot.
