'Galactic Symphony Over Crater Lake'
A breathtaking celestial panorama unfolds over Oregon’s iconic Crater Lake, where an ancient, gnarled tree stands sentinel against the night.
Above, the galactic core blazes brilliantly, its dense star clusters and dark dust lanes cutting through a vibrant green airglow. To the right, the colorful Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex and the fiery star Antares shine like cosmic jewels. Wisps of the Dark Horse Nebula and the Serpens-Aquila Rift stretch across the Milky Way, weaving through the starlit canvas. Near the horizon, the crimson hues of the Lobster (NGC 6357), Cat’s Paw (NGC 6334), and Prawn Nebula (IC 4628) paint the sky with their deep interstellar glow - completing this awe-inspiring cosmic masterpiece.
