Campsite.jpg

We went camping at a dark site to use the scope. Of course the temp was so low that the dew prevented use of the scope. But, it was a marvelously clear night with all the stars of the little dipper easily visible. The Milky Way was rising from the Sagittarius teapot spout and making a ribbon across the whole sky. It was a wonderful night dew and all. This photo is about 8AM as the water is heating for coffee and tea to start the morning.

I LOVE camping. Don't know if the same trick works in reverse, but when going from an air conditioned room to the heat on holiday I've often used a battery powered fan to dry off the lens. Works a treat for me!

Oh yes, brings back lots of memories of our camping when I was growing up, I can smell the dew and feel the sun warming my back, and feeling my feet getting all wet from the grass, LOL. I love the mood this conveys.
