Weekend Observations

We spent the weekend up in the High Uintas of northern Utah. Each evening started out looking pretty bad, but... things got better as time progressed. By 3am or so, skies were as clear as I think I've ever seen them. You could see stars through the trees, right down to the horizon. The Milky Was absolutely spectacular.... glowing from horizon to horizon. Then, of course, there were some very nice Perseid Meteor Shower leftovers. All in all, it was a pretty sweet weekend.
Temps? Well, that's another issue. We awoke to frost covered everything on Sunday morning :-\ Could have done without that for sure!
