Sadly StarNet2 splits the halo from the star...

Working on ways to combine unfogged nebulae with the fog halos...

I had a very productive trip to Utah last month.

That Tiffen double fog 3 filter really makes the constellations stand out.

Oh, and a small meteor trail, lower left.

Yep... was about 2 feet deep when I did it in 2013... you need a good Jeep. Call the Park Ranger to check conditions.

Drove across the ford once... but I usually use the entrance farther East.

Getting to the top of the Spanish Bottom from the Dollhouse was a couple of miles, but not too bad.

The climb down from the top to the river was 1000 foot elevation change and another mile or so horizontally.

It was a 1000 foot hike down to the river, and 1000 feet back up.

But I was a younger man, then, only 55.

My problem is that, IMHO, the lab leak theory was suppressed for non-scientific reasons. I don't want science to be corrupted by politics, from either side.

The White Rim Trail is perhaps my favorite place to Jeep!
