Join me early on the morning of Tuesday, March 17, to photograph the galactic center of the Milky Way over Joshua Tree National Park. Myself and three photographers will meet in Twentynine Palms, CA, at 2:00 a.m. and rideshare with me to previously scouted foregrounds for our images. There will be about an hour of night photography in each of two locations. Post-processing instruction will be scheduled at a later date.
After the stars start to fade we will continue to photograph through sunrise.
