Zodiacal Light Over Poudre Canyon, CO

I captured the luminous zodiacal light stretching up towards the Pleiades over Poudre Canyon just 30 minutes outside Fort Collins, CO. Early spring is a wonderful time to observe this beautiful natural phenomenon when sunlight is reflected by cosmic dust oriented along the ecliptic.
