It was cloudy in North Texas also. I drove out to the country anyway, to a fairly dark sky spot I had researched earlier. No luck with the clouds clearing out. I only saw two streaks - nothing I could photograph.
I had one interesting experience. I was at a lake, standing a bit away from the car. It was pretty dark. I could just make out a tree line about a hundred yards away. All of a sudden the wildest noise imaginable startled the heck out of me. After a moment, I realized it was a pack of howling coyotes chasing down some unlucky prey, or fighting amongst themselves. The coyotes didn't come any closer to me, though. Lucky for them - ha! I was wielding a sturdy Tilt-All tripod, a Pentax LX, and a large blueberry Danish. Pity the coyote who messed with me! -- John Mustarde - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
