This looks like another earthstar, geastrum triplex (collared earthstar 
- gekraagde aardster), also not uncommon in dune areas.
I don't know about the attraction of flies but it is indeed the case for 
a number of mushrooms.

The fly is intriguing. My guess is the flies are attracted by the
fungus to distribute spores. No idea, I have to do some googling.

 Wednesday was really nice weather- warm, no dew, and no clouds. I got

 Next time, I'll try making RAW, ISO 200 exposures, and bracket to
 find where the noise starts. Got to remember the Nikonos (sp?)
 viewfinder ( no optics, just a frame with a cold shoe I use for
 aiming with a pin hole lens.) The camera viewfinder is pretty much
 useless for stars. The Tokina lets me cheat- set the lens to infinity
 and let depth of field do its magic.

 I really like the one of the guy at the red-lit console.

 The series makes the problem of light pollution very evident, too.

Thanks

That was a last minute addition. At first, I thought the guy was too  
soft for this group. So there was no post processing.

I need to get Rush Limbaugh to explain why it is a good idea to waste  
energy illuminating bird butts. A few years ago he was railing  
against dark sky nuts. I need to add some pictures of the  
'Baltimore Nebula' that dominates the eastern horizon.

Interesting small series. I love the darkes of moons a lot.

Regards, Jens

 The Howard Astronomical League had an outing last Wednesday night.
 The first successful event in quite a while. We tried the previous
 Saturday. I got there just in time for a really hard downpour.
 Wednesday was really nice weather- warm, no dew, and no clouds. I got
 some pictures of stars, and astronomers.
 Canon 10D, Tokina 12-24mm f4 lens wide open, exposures from 1/8 to 56
 sec, ISO 100 to 400.

 Next time, I'll try making RAW, ISO 200 exposures, and bracket to
 find where the noise starts. Got to remember the Nikonos (sp?)
 viewfinder ( no optics, just a frame with a cold shoe I use for
 aiming with a pin hole lens.) The camera viewfinder is pretty much
 useless for stars. The Tokina lets me cheat- set the lens to infinity
 and let depth of field do its magic.

 [The moon pictures were made last year]

 Cheers
 Mike

Very nice. The rocks and specular highlights present an interesting  
contrast.
