Dew on Telescope Mount in Lesotho Twilight in near a weather balloon launch site in Lesotho

Dew on Telescope Mount in Lesotho Twilight

by Dean Mills

Steel-blue ambient light washes over the brass and aluminum components of a telescope mount, highlighting thousands of suspended water droplets from a light drizzle. Dry, grassy terrain of Lesotho fades into a soft gray background, revealing the instrument's intricate mechanical details. Rivets, adjustment knobs, and the textured surface of the mount gleam with a wet sheen. The cold, metallic surfaces sit beside the muted earth tones of the launch site nearby. Tiny droplets rest on the edges of the brackets, refracting the dim twilight into faint points of light. A drop hangs from the tip of a leveling screw, poised to fall.
