I worked hard to produce a strong series of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.landscapeastrophotography.com\" title=\"Landscape Astrophotography photos\">Landscape Astrophotography<\/a> photos in 2012 \u2014 and this image is one of my favorites. It combines Delicate Arch, the Milky Way galaxy, just a tad of blue in the sky from the sunset earlier, and a shooting star crossing the sky directly above Delicate Arch. That last element was sheer luck of course, but luck favors the prepared and I was certainly prepared on this evening, shooting three cameras aided by special lights and remote triggers for my camera.
