ALL THE LASERS - a photo on Flickriver

ALL THE LASERS

After a busy, occasionally-overwhelming semester in Honolulu, I moved to Hilo, on the Big Island of Hawaii. I'll be there for the next six weeks, doing research and occasionally heading up to Mauna Kea for photography.

After landing in Hilo, a couple friends and I immediately drove up the mountain. I was ridiculously sleep deprived and fairly altitude sick, but all four of the telescopes that have laser adaptive optics systems were scheduled to use their lasers, and I couldn't miss that.

This image is a still frame from one of my timelapse sequences. It was taken shortly before moonrise, and the clouds are lit purple by the rising moon. It was like a colorful sunrise, except by the moon. Crazy awesome.
