Northern lights dance in the north and the zodiacal light shines in the east. This view was seen from the 6700 foot summit of Cougar Peak in Montana. This sky was untouched by light pollution, allowing the fainter stars and aurora to be visible. In the middle of the band of zodiacal light is the bright planet Jupiter. I rented this lookout tower for the night and I was not disappointed with the amazing panoramic views and dark skies.
