Went out comet hunting last evening. Found Lemmon, but it was barely perceptible with my equipment. Thought this shot was more interesting. A farm silhouetted against the night sky with a plane trekking overhead.

My friend Lynn and I wandered into a nearby field where two mule deer bucks and a doe were grazing. As long as we moved slowly, they seemed to tolerate us.

I get one more week with this beautiful mountain view. The full(er) moon and cloud cover have created some lovely drama.

Venus & Company. Captured these two meteors that I could not see with the naked eye. 30 second exposure. There are three more that are so faint they are hard to spot on the image.
