It didn’t take long before the sky became the center of my attention. Out came the camera and for the next 30 minutes or so I had it pointed to the stars. The lake had a few jetties that stuck out into the water and where I was camping at towards the western end provided a nice view towards the western horizon. The sun had set some hours previous but still provided a slight glow on the horizon with milky way and the silhouetting trees in the foreground.
