I apologize for the poor quality of this image, but having only a wiggly tripod presented some challenges in putting this mosaic together. The image consists of 7 frames and covers the entire visible Milky Way from the southern end all the way to the north where the high peak of Mauna Kea cut off the most northern part.
Each frame was 5 sec exposure with 18mm lens, Sony digital camera with APS size sensor. Caught a nice meteor near Orion, one of many that I saw that night - Feb 25, 2014. The image was taken near the visitor center at the 9000 ft level below the world famous observatories (Keck, Gemini North, Subaru, etc). South is to the left (traffic and lights from the visitor center can be seen far left).
