I wish I could see this in a desert sky but I think there are ways of observing, even if our skies are overcast.
See article. :-)

Ha! Thanks so much, pictures never quite do anything justice but I think your shots are terrific.
It makes me happy that you got to see the moon and Venus. Wow.

Yay!

You beat me to it. I just walked up back on the hill for a test shot looking southwest. Still a few puffy clouds out, but they'll be gone within the hour.

I'll post the test pic and go back out in an hour or so, sun is reflecting in my lens.

Maybe on the mountaintop??

I am happy for you, your most fortunate location. How lovely it must be.

In my drab little urban pocket I search out the winding vine tendrils recreating decrepit buildings, birds perched on wires and the trees clustered in man-made parks. Quite nice, but nothing like the pristine beauty you describe, pro.

A shame, the skies are crystal clear here with temps going down to the mid 30's tonight, but being surrounded by mountains will limit viewing.
