The weather has been perfect. Blue skies, warm but not hot, not much wind. I even got one night of astrophotography. I haven’t started the truck since I got here on Tuesday. I’ve just been hiking, taking some photos and reading D-Day by Stephen Ambrose.
Death Camas. As Susan pointed out, this plant is poisonous. It looks like a wild onion, somewhat, but has no onion odor. It is by far the most abundant flower on the prairie here right now. Nuttall’s Violet, a larval food plant for many species of fritillaries. A species of Phlox. Shootingstar. Quite common now and very colorful.NGC 6913, a large nebula area in Cygnus, with a bluish reflection nebula in the center. About two hours with the 500 f4.The Cygnus Wall, a part of the North America Nebula. I have imaged this before but not with guiding. I only got about an hour of integration before I got tired and had to quit for the night. Short June nights are not the greatest for astrophotography, I don’t get much sleep!
