Wow, Patrick, those are cool. What's the really bright object near the ground in the first photo? -- Joe

Glad you liked them. There have been enough positive comments that I'm now thinking of posting the whole series. As for the bright object, I _thought_ it was Arcturus. But now that I've compared the image to what I see on some planetarium software I'm not so sure. Anyone care to try and figure it out. The image was taken from just south of Beaver where highway 20 (visible in the image) cuts off to the east. Date was 05 NOV 1995 and the time was around 0400. Patrick
