San Diego's back country is a great place to go star gazing. Far from the city lights, the night skies of the Laguna Mountains or Borrego Springs on a clear, crisp night will reveal an amazing canvas of constellations and meteor showers.

Local San Diego photographer Minh Nguyen offers up some tips on taking star trails photos in the mountains and deserts of San Diego county.
