Here is another picture of the rainbow. I was listning to Levy when it appered and was standing in the road anyway to left and got the camera. I don't know what I missed but it was definitely one of those moments that I had to get a picture of (or two).

Hey Nate, there's that good looking Motorhome again... 
TMSP was just AWESOME this year. I couldn't believe the skies. Even when it clouded up during the day, we had GREAT skies at night.

Jason - nice pictures on your site. Also like the one in the forum post here. How much exposure does it take to get broad sky shot like that?
I am wondering what type of picture I pull off with a tripod mounted digital at 15 or 30 seconds of exposure?

Thanks, I'm glad you like them! All of my wide-field shots were taken with a Canon 350XT, 1600iso, 13 seconds using a Sigma 30mm F1.4 DC lens stopped down to F2.0. If I go any longer than 13 seconds I can see star trailing, but the lens is so fast that I still pick up enough signal. These are single shots with minimal gamma/levels adjustment in Photoshop.

Thanks for pointing that image out, KA. I just noticed a faint blue fuzzy area in the lower left of the spiral arms. Anyone know what that is?

Brent those were your scope mounts???
Impressive. I checked them out on Friday, and was very impressed. You were not around, but I looked just the same.
Great work. I even think they posted the awards on the table Mtn site already...

Yes, I seem to recall that drive up the Mt. in the middle of a rain cloud, it was nice meeting you all. I hope the next attempt at the Mt. will fair a tad better.
