The Night Sky in Arizona!

We spent all day at Lowell Observatory, listening to papers and slideshows about things of interest to Antique Telescope Society members.  Then at 5:30 PM we started an hour long drive down to  Lake Montezuma, to a restaurant for dinner, and then to the home and private observatory of one of our hosts at Lowell.  He took a discarded, historical telescope over a hundred years old, and restored it from a pile of rust covered junk, and made it look brand new again.  It took him five years to accomplish it, and he is a master craftsman.  The telescope is just stunning.  Since it was so dark down in that area, I decided to do a a few time exposures of the night sky.  There were a few clouds around, but you can see how dark and beautiful the sky is down there.
