Here’s a shot taken the other night (7/5/08) atop a ridge in Utah’s Uinta Mountains. Located about 10 miles up the Trout Creek drainage at about 9400′, we’re prepping for what would turn out to be an amazing night of observing. That’s me and the ObDob posing in front of a gorgeous alignment (moon, regulus, mars and saturn).

Skies above Trout Creek were easily mag 7… with amazing transparency and pretty nice seeing. We spent the night visiting with old friends (M13, M51, M57) and enjoying the wonders of the summer Milky Way.

   And that’s me in the bottom left! I’m famous now. It was one HELL of a good night for star gazing.

   Great photo with the alignment in the background. Fantastic site to. Must be a lot of work to keep it up to date but I’m enjoying reading through it and seeing your astro-pics. Thanks for sharing! Shawn / Ontario, Canada
