Spent an evening near the summit of Mauna Kea (4207m) photographing the Milky Way with a Nikon D810a and 14-24mm lens. It was cold, windy and beautiful. The vertical shot over Mauna Loa (4169m) in the background consists of six four-second exposures stacked. The horizontal shot is three four-second exposures. Cloud cover in the low areas along Saddle Road and Kilauea Volcano surround Mauna Loa in both photos. Cinder cone silhouettes in the foreground. The real cool feature other than the Milky Way is the orange glow through the cloud cover. The glow on the left is from Pu\'u \'Ō\'ō - the newest volcanic eruption on the flanks of Kilauea. The glow on the right is from Halema\'uma\'u Crater. These are preliminary edits so any suggestions are welcome. Also, if you visit Hawaii and find a glove near the summit of Mauna Kea it could be mine.
