Milky Way from Mingus Mountain

Milky way as seen from Mingus Mountain in Az. The pine tree on the right was painted with light – I shined a flashlight on it during part of the 20 second exposure. If you look really hard (hint: click image for a larger view), you can see 2 meteor streaks that run close to vertically. The dotted horizontal line between the trees towards the right is an airplane, its blinking lights come out as dots as it moves.
The star field is blurry, likely from too long an exposure as the earth rotates it motion blurs the stars.

Blue Moon Behind Clouds

Taken from our back patio, part of the patio cover is visible on the top right. Shot with my Sony A6000 in “superior auto” a.k.a. low light mode, braced against a patio cover upright (no tripod). Since I always shoot in raw, I changed the white balance to tungsten in Lightroom to get the blue effect.

Red Sky at Night 1, a photo by dagnyg on Flickr.

Taken near the Prescott High School 1/7/2014 Thumb Butte is visible on the horizon.

This brings to mind the little poem:

Red sky at night, sailors’ delight

Red sky in morning, sailors take warning.
