The desert and the video is amazing

[@AstroVagabond]

Thank you! Amazing landscapes. A car drove up to our camp and the passenger was a geologist. He gave me a quick tutorial about the immediate area including Rainbow Canyon,

[@alajmiq8]

@AstroVagabond wow you should do a quick video about that . From the Arabian great desert 🏜 to the Death Valley desert, we love you from Saudia Arabia. You should visit area in Saudia called alaula ❤️

[@thebst6408]

We love you from Saudia Arabia and Kuwait ❤

[@AstroVagabond]

Thank you, much appreciated. Would love to find out more about what is like to image from there! Clear skies!

[@getoutsidewithmiguel]

I really like this new documentary-style b roll filming. I am looking forward to seeing your astro imaging.

[@AstroVagabond]

More to come! Great idea!

[@patricksAstro]

Thats a cool video Bill, I've tried so many times to make one like that but screw it up every time. What a fun weekend that was. Thanks again for coming down I really like when we all get together. This winter we need to make a trip out to Yuma to see the Scorpion Bros.

[@AstroVagabond]

Thanks Patrick! I'm glad I got down there to experience the fun in a very cool setting. Yes we should do an AZ trip for sure.

[@Honitonman]

Love the video Bill, it all looks a bit different to Devon in the UK :-) Looking forward to seeing the results of your road trip.

[@AstroVagabond]

Thanks! Here is a link to the video I just released on this channel where you may find the Artists Palette Formation landscape in Death Valley, California interesting: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3SyanZ_faeVfNk I'll also be posting some footage from Zion National Park and future road trips on my Laurie and Bill Retired KZbin channel if you want more or have an interest in van camping 😉 : www.youtube.com/@LaurieandBillRetired

I just got back from Kanab. Great location, amazing sky, but... equipment problems. Still got some great dark sky data. I'm just up in Marin.

[@AstroVagabond]

Good to know about Kanab and sorry to hear about your equipment problems. I've run into plenty of those myself from time to time. 😉 For the Zion trip it will just be a no imaging spend time with 4 of our friends type of trip. Leaving imaging gear at home. I will be down in Landers, CA at GMARS weather permitting for the upcoming new moon November 1. What's it like to image up in Marin? Are you setup to do it in your backyard or do you travel to a site?

@@AstroVagabond I have Bortle 5 in the back yard, so yeah, I get pretty good stuff at home.
