August 18, 2022 by Nicole Caldwell

Milky Way anza Borrego from Nicole Caldwell on Vimeo. Astrophotography in one of my favorite places on this Earth, Borrego Springs. Located san Diego County, this designated dark sky community is the place to come see the stars. The Perseids are one of the brighter meteor showers of the year. They occur every year between July 17 and August 24 and tend to peak around August 9-13. Here are some fun shots of the town on 35MM LEICA FILM CAMERA.
