Cassiopeia at Spruce Knob Lake
Family camping in a campground with a truly dark sky.
Cassiopeia is nestled between the pines at the other end of the Milky Way rainbow. This is the darkest sky I have ever seen in real life. I was so lucky to have a patch of clear sky to the North in July of 2022. The Milky Way core to the South was perfectly framed above a still lake, and completely blocked by clouds. Someday I will get back there and get that dream image.

We went family camping at Spruce Knob Lake Campground for the dark sky opportunity. To get photos of the lake and the Milky Way. We had a great time, and are looking forward to another visit.

Evergreens and Beach Milky Way Ornament
This galaxy ribbon of stars above the pine trees in this photo remind me of Christmas, and traveling to a warm beach over holidays also sounds wonderful. So I put these 2 ideas together on one ornament together.
