It's always nice when the skies clear for a little stargazing when RVing. There was a fire near Escalante Petrified Forest State Park earlier in the day making it tough to see the sky. Thankfully, the wind picked up just enough to move the particles out and help us get some dark sky shots.
As a side note, did you get to see the Firefly Alpha launch last night in the western skies? Alison got a pretty cool image over our RV she'll have to share later. ????

Nice pic.
I really like the app Stellarium for identifying planets, stars, and constellations.
If you’re far enough north or if the conditions are just right, the NOAA space weather / aurora borealis forecast can be interesting.

That pic is terrific. I am in Oregon, a lot of people come for Alvord Lake, Crater Lake and the Lava beds National Monument in Tulelake for dark sky photography.
