Monongahela Milky Way from May 2022
I visited the wonderful mountains of West Virginia during the May new moon period. Two locations were on tap and both are in the Monongahela National Forest. Dolly Sods Wilderness Area is a premium destination for hiking on the east coast. It is pretty dark there, too. Brent Maynard, and his son Cameron, joined me for some astrophotography one night in Dolly Sods. Please see the YouTube video for a bit more background on this experience. I then spent a few nights at Experience Learning Center on Spruce Knob. The visit to the forest is best presented in the YouTube video. Here are the images from the trip. If you need more details on the images, please visit my Astrobin page linked in my “contact info” page. Clear skies.

I had wanted to visit DAV for a number of years and May 2021 provided the weather window of opportunity I had been seeking. I visited the village for 3 wonderful nights from May 5-8, 2021. I detailed the visit in 4 travelogue videos as well as a summary video with images acquired. I hope you enjoy these images and take a moment to contemplate the beauty of God’s creation. Have a great day.
