McCain Valley is a great place to view the stars, it has some very dark skies. I spent the night with my son this last week there and got to view more stars than I photographed...it was cold, very cold..
The moon and Venus
The moon, Venus and Fomalhaut(?) form a triangle. AN airplane flew thru sky during the photograph
Cygnus, the Northern Cross, Vega is below. It seems centered in the Milky Way,

Daren,
Nice pic of the Northern Cross and Vega. You are right about the Milky Way going right in line with the cross. I had my little 4.5" Meade out the other night and it was great viewing even with that scope. Maybe next new moon I can get the big scope (10") out there and show you some of the cool things visible this time of year. What do you think? It is a beast to take out but it is amazing to look through.
