This was taken on the evening of March 4, 2011. It is a view from the front of the "Happy Huts" at the bed-and-breakfast establishment that is immediately outside the main north entrance to Joshua Tree National Park. The nice orange glow comes from the Palm Springs area, fairly far away over the mountains. The main constellation in this view is Orion. The star Betelgeuse is the brightest streak in the far upper right part of the image. Clouds were rolling through as the exposures were taken. This is a series of 59-second images taken over a one hour period. Camera: Canon 30D digital SLR.
