Description

This is where I do most of my astro-photography. It is a club's dark site in the desert about 1 hour's drive from my home. The sky's darkness is good, but not great. What really rocks is the good weather. It is in the most cloud free area of the continental US, which ranges from southeastern California, across southern Arizona, and into southwestern New Mexico. It hardly ever rains or snows. In the evenings lows are in the 20's F in the winter and the 70's F in the summer. Most of the time its dry, so I don't have to worry about dew. The San Diego Astronomy Association is a big club with over 500 members. Except for the few stormy nights, there is usually somebody there most every day of the week.

Canon 60Da with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II. FL 18mm, f/3.5 @ 4s ISO12800.
