Beautiful, Gali! Always nice to have good shelter during a storm :D. And I agree about the post-storm light. You certainly captured it nicely.

I went for the Pittsburgh fireworks show, but a rainstorm just prior to the event had me running back to the car so as to protect my camera (since I'd inadvertently left my umbrella in the trunk). I did get to experience some nice light over the city though. Check out the barge in the Ohio River, from which the fireworks are shot, as well as the boats waiting for the display. ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53836291184_04f98ef560_c.jpg)

View from Mount Washington?
What is it like to fight traffic afterwards?

The next hill along, the Westend Overlook. The traffic is a lot better than at Mount Washington, although I still had to park a couple of streets away.

![](https://i.ibb.co/5MQQZhB/IMG-5910.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/RvrZ9sN/IMG-1414.png) Here in crescent city we had a rare fireworks display without fog blanketing it or wind. It was 57 degrees, calm and clear. But the legal city show as always was dwarfed by the illegal mortars along the beach and. It’s streets. I had a great night but just as we were heading home someone knocked a cake into a fountain firework which set off a chain reaction. 14 people injured. A three year old life flighted to Portland after lungs collapsed and burned inside and out by being hit by a mortar. A 62 year old woman lost fingers. It’s been crazy in the local community demanding laws changed but actually everything involved was already illegal. We just don’t have law enforcement to deal with miles of beaches and no way to deal with the swelling of population on the county that night. So that said. I had a beautiful night even though it was tragic for others. I’m sorry for the injuries and helpless to explain why I still love fireworks and overall believe uts better they come here to our beaches than go into the hills and forests around us. ![](https://i.ibb.co/pdL5vJT/IMG-1350.png)

I like the first three. I can see the intent behind them. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

The weather in Colorado has been absolutely horrendous for astrophotography essentially all of this year, clouds clouds and more clouds. June/July did have a few iffy nights, that made me chance the prospects of losing part to most of night from clouds, but all in all, ended up yielding enough time to manage two targets The Lagoon Nebula is an extremely difficult target due to it's very southern location. it never rises more than 26* above the horizon at my latitude. The only thing that even made it possible is the fact that it is the second brightest nebula visible in the northern hemisphere. ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53804238242_6a07bb9e76_c.jpg) The other object that I really sunk my time into was the Soap Bubble nebula. This illusive target is so faint, that it wasn't even discovered until 2008, and then it was by a fellow astrophotographer. It had gone undetected in all of the previous sky surveys done by the huge observatory instruments. The Soap Bubble shares the same field as the very bright Crescent nebula, a popular Summer target that I had imaged previously, but I wanted them both in the same field. This is 21 hours total exposure and the Soap Bubble is the faint, perfectly circular loop in the lower left corner. ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53854855436_dc7d583c74_c.jpg)

swimswithtrout. I always love to sit with your pictures for awhile, just getting lost in the detail and trying to comprehend the vastness. Thanks for sharing.
