Fire season this year is so busy producing smoke that the quality of seeing a dark sky is very much diminished. Even the Oregon Star Party for 2024 was cancelled. There is smoke and very dry conditions everywhere this August in the State of Oregon. So, this could be the last image for a while. I may attempt some Winter imaging sessions before the end of the year. Or I may simply work on my gear and consider some big upgrades. Or both! :)
Clear skies!!
