Hi Duane;
Thanks.
I'm currently working on last nights 15.6 gigabytes of video (1 am to 5 :10 am MST). Conditions weren't quite good as the 21st, but still much better than normal for Calgary.
And tonight looks like it could be exceptional, as the Jet Stream has weakened and has swung way north and east of me.
TTYL..

Nice shots! That's a lot of work you've put into that.
It's clouded over here pretty good. Clear Sky Clock says it might clear up for maybe an
hour or two tonight but then I'm looking at clouds until Wednesday.
I hope you all have clearer skies than I.
