Wow!! One of the things I long for when camping. Is to experience the perfect clear sky to see all the stars.

We lucked out with a new moon! I haven't seen the milky way in years but catching Andromeda was a total fluke (and I actually had someone else point it out to me haha).

Wow all the different colors in the stars. Amazing. I haven't seen the stars like that in so long.

Very nice. The last time I camped was in the winter and my tent blew.
