Just got back from Denver Show. I had too much weight to take on the
plane and not enough time to ship so I rented a car and drove home with my
goodies. 1429 miles in 21 hours flat. Stopped only for gas.
I picked up a couple of nice specimens from an old collection and will post
photos sometime this week. In the mean time, here is a photo taken on
August 27th of Mars from Evolution Lake in the high Sierra (10,500 ft. and no
light pollution). It was our first attempt at trying to get a star trail
exposure so be kind!!! This was the 11th night of our John Muir Trail
trip. It took us 19days to hike the 211 miles from Yosemite Valley to the
top of Mt. Whitney. Mars was blazing at us almost every night on the
trip.
Best Wishes to all.......
