Funny you posting these. I'll be up there in a couple weeks. Great shots. I can just hope for clear skies when I visit.

Great pics, Blue32.

I'm an amateur astronomer so I'm always looking at sky photos but I never get tired of seeing nice new ones like these. The lightning strike from Belmont Plateau is awesome!

Hey Thanks a lot guys!

Thanks... I got super super lucky I just kept an eye on the weather and the Moon phase and took a chance... I really scored .. Its a super long drive and I would have been pissed if I taken it for nothing !

My in-laws live ~35 minutes away from there. I plan on staying at their house for a few days if the weather looks good.
