The Milky Way: View from Utah
Astrophotographer Cary Bahora: "I'm 60 and never seen so many stars as I did in the extremely remote Henry Mountains of Utah at 10,500 ft. It was amazing walking around seeing clearly only by starlight. Two pics looking south. Other looking north. And is that a galaxy in the lower right on the northward looking pic?"
Generally speaking, the best time to see the Milky Way galaxy is during the Milky Way season from February to October, usually between 00:00 and 5:00, and on nights with a New Moon. This, however, will vary depending on the hemisphere, your latitude, and other factors like the moon phase.
The Henry Mountains is a mountain range located in the southeastern portion of the U.S. state of Utah that runs in a generally north-south direction, extending over a distance of about 30 miles (48 km).
Utah is a landlocked state in the Mountain West subregion of the Western United States. It is one of the Four Corners states, sharing a border with Arizona, Colorado, and New Mexico. It also borders Wyoming to the northeast, Idaho to the north, and Nevada to the west.
