Morning Twilight at Mt. Whitney

Mount Whitney towers over the town of Lone Pine in the Eastern Sierra, making sunrise shots there convenient on the way to or from Death Valley National Park when accessing the park from the west.  This is a pre-sunrise twilight shot, with hints of the coming alpenglow as the stars fade in the brightening sky in the background.

  1. I was hoping to capture Geminid meteors on this morning +darwin awin, but instead I combined the 37 images of 30 seconds each to create this star trails image, covering about 19 minutes.  The streaks in the sky show how the earth rotated during that time, against those stars shining in the background.

  2. Thanks +Al Tuttle, the stars faded away as I captured this sequence, so I had to individually lighten each image successively brighter and brighter to get the stars to show up at all during the second half of this sequence.  It looks like I should re-process it to further lighten the middle ones.  
    I had a little easier time getting this daylight to twilight transition and star trails shot to work earlier this year: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/c2KrQU9iPlS_Hm0aXpow0tMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink
