Milky Way — Cope, Colorado - a photo on Flickriver

            Dark skies for dramatic captures of the Milky Way and its Galactic Center exist on the eastern plains of Colorado, provided one stays away from some of its rural population centers. This photograph was made near Cope, Colorado, which is in a Class 2 (typically truly dark sky) area on the Bortle Scale. Light pollution from Stratton and Bethune, Colorado, which are located more than 40 miles (64 km) from this site, appears in the lower left of the photo. Light from a nearby farm highlights portions of the foreground, and light from another farm is seen as a bright glow on the horizon near the center at the bottom of the photo.
