Comments: This object is one of my favorite visual objects in the 130 EDT. 3
negatives were shot at Blackwater Falls, WV during the Astronomy Weekend. The
conditions were intermittent rolling ground fog througout the night. The skies
remained quite nice, however, so I kept on shooting. Temps were in the 20's and dew
was quite heavy. Quite the opposite happened on the other 2 negatives. These
were shot at the Mid-Atlantic Star Party. Conditions were quite nice - temps in the
30's and some of the driest nights I have seen since I have been in the hobby.
