Here's a couple other images from Saturday night...

The Snake, B72, Dark Nebula...

(I've always wanted to do that one - Thanks to John Gleason for pointing it
out.)

And the Leo Triplet plus friends...

(This probably needs a bit more work.)

(I also shot a virgo/markarians-chain thing but I've yet to put through the
pipeline.)

It did indeed seem like a good night. Lotsa fog in the valley and at the
coast.
When the MW rose, it was very well defined. Off ramp, knots, all the good
stuff.

I headed down from the hill at about 10am Sunday... By then it was very
warm, creeping into the high 70s.
And it was one of those classic hill-tops-like-islands-in-the-fog-mornings.
The fog was still hanging in about to gilroy.

Makes me want to make a mid-week run back up there before the moon gets too
annoying.
