Re: Summer Quarter faves

Very nice series of images ranging from the beauty of the night sky to the devastation of the wildfire.  59332 is a bit of a departure for your usual.  I like it and would probably print it if it were mine.  30402 looks like you caught a airliner headed for SFO as it crossed the comet's path.
