pp ISLAND GALAXY Shooting deep-sky images from a truly dark
location produces extremely deep results in a relatively short time. This
dazzling image of Messier 31, the Andromeda Galaxy, consists of only 20
minutes of luminance exposures captured on Haleakala-, while the color
information was captured from the author's home observatory.
p QUICK COLOR The extremely transparent skies allowed for enough
signal to create this colorful image of NGC 7822 in Cepheus.
although I've left the superstitions of childhood behind, I
couldn't help but be moved by the place in a deep part of
my soul. I did not speak with my ancestors, but if the spirit
of my lost son wandered anywhere on this Earth, it would
surely be in a place like this. I dwelt on that with quiet reverence while I was there.
I plan to return to Haleakala¯ again this year, and I'm
determined to stay all night and catch the sunrise while
recording time-lapse images. How can you be so close to
something so amazing and not take advantage of it?

lens. I could have stayed all night shooting nightscapes, if not
for the cold and other obligations in the morning.
As the night progressed, a creeping tiredness, along with
the lack of oxygen that comes with the thin mountaintop
air, caused me to make a few mistakes with the imaging rig,
so I never was able to record a truly deep image of my chosen targets through color filters. The cold temperature was
more than I had planned for, so several times I was forced
to take refuge in the car without actually starting an image
sequence. Fortunately, I still managed to record several moderately deep monochrome images that took advantage of the
transparency, which I then colorized later with data from my
home observatory.
While the summit is remote, it wasn't until after about 1
a.m. that I was truly alone in the lot. Earlier in the evening,
a family observing the sunset was convinced that, despite
my protests, I was a real scientist because I just knew far too
much about the night sky, and of course I had all that fancy
equipment. Later on, the ranger came by to visit, and another
nightscape photographer chatted with me while I took breaks
to warm up in my rental car.
Haleakala¯ is a sacred site to the native Hawaiians, and
