Caught the last stretch of dry summer for shooting stars, though it got a little smoky. There were just a few groups at the lake, and we took a spot high on the ridge above the upper lake. The sky was mostly clear both nights for staying up late. Through some low haze/smoke:

Great photos, Kenji! I didn't expect that yellow on the larches yet either! What kind of tripod do you carry for these night photos? I'm considering getting one, and wondering what you use .
