About this image

Drove up to the top of Haleakala as I couldnt resist seeing a mag22 sky again and the Milky Way so bright it looks like light pollution.

Icing on the cake was a laser ranger from Hawaii University blatting across the sky. Made up for the 2hr drive up and the freezing cold at the top.
