Going to try for star trails? The perseids are supposed to be peaking and the moon is going dark…

Wednesday night is scheduled to be mostly cloudy so Thursday night following the Santa Rosa Photographic Society meeting I’m thinking of going up to Sugarloaf Ridge State Park to photograph. You said you’d be out of town. Is my memory correct?

Leaving early Fri so don’t want to be out late Thu. But good star ‘hunting’ to you!

We have a dark skies area, north of us and I hope to visit as the nights draw in. Is that glow the dying light, rather than light pollution, Tim?
Another great star picture.

It’s light pollution. If you get into night photography there are a number of Apple apps I’d recommend. PhotoPills is excellent for planning. Dark Sky is another. Thank you

It appears that from April 1 to April 12 the brightest part of the Milky Way is visible to you but only at 1.3 degrees above the horizon between 150-155 degrees azimuth.
