The night sky

One of the reasons we wanted to come to Organ Pipe at this time was to be here at the "dark of the moon" - so we would have the best access to a dark night sky so Dwayne could try out some night photography techniques with his camera. The first night we were here, it was too cloudy to see the stars, but last night was promising. He got up several times in the night and here is the fruit of his labor!

He particularly wanted to capture the Milky Way - this shot was taken at about 4am.
