There’s nothing like the feeling of being out looking up at the stars, especially in a dark sky place. The first photo is from the campground but for the rest I drove out away from most people. The yellow glow is most likely the bright lights of Las Vegas.
It’s hard to find places with genuinely dark skies. I go out at night and try to point my camera away from all street lights and porch lights and security lights that dot our valley and hillsides.

I don’t know where the yellow glow behind Patterson Mountain comes from – Bellingham?
Is that a distant galaxy to the right of the tree?
Tiny Winthrop makes lots of light, perhaps a bit of Aurora too.
