Baboquivari

This is the view south from one of the wind vents on the side of the WIYN telescope dome. Sunset was approaching so the lighting was excellent. Baboquivari is the thumb-like peak at center. It is said to be the center of the Universe by the Tohono O'Odham Nation and home to their creator, I’itoli. Baboquivari is about 7,730 feet tall and is the high point in the Quinlan Mountains which also contain Kitt Peak. This image was taken with Dave's 12-24 Sigma lens at 12mm focal length with an exposure of 1/800 seconds at f/8, ISO 800 (yeah, lots of 8's...).
