Title: Out all night
Post by: MattBurt on August 12, 2018, 12:53:18 am

Good thing my wife trusts me. I slept in the back of my car last night trying to get meteor shots. I'm still looking through them but not as many meteors as I was hoping for. It was a beautiful night so I had some fun while I was out there and took this selfie. My apologies to the selfie haters.  8)

Then I caught sunrise on my way home. This is all within 5 miles of home which is convenient.

Looks like a very good night: nice work.

I like the prancing pony dark nebula in #1.

Nice shots, I like the first one a lot - upon first look, I mistook you for a lighthouse ;-)

I like 'em all a lot, but #1 in particular.

Another vote for #1. Beautiful and superbly executed.

Thanks! I love these little overnights near home. Easy prep, out for the mission, and then back home in the morning.
