    Lucky enough to be there on an amazingly clear night. The red above is volcanic ash being lit from below by the light from the caldera/lava. It was in a perfect circle above us for a while, but I have no fisheye to do it justice. There was rain moving in from the left(East). I think this shot is 45 seconds. I wanted to go longer, but the caldera was quite bright relative to the sky/stars. I would have liked to try putting my GND filters on to block out the caldera(upside down), but ran out of clear sky/time.

    Exceptionally well done. You should be rightfully proud of this one.

    Heck yeah! Was there last September and trying score a time when it wasn't raining is a feat enough in itself. Got some ok shots, but nothing like this. Absolutely sweet! Nice work!
