Ah! Another local victim who suffers with me.
Yeah, I took all these from my backyard in Renton Highlands. My images usually come out looking kind of pink with the light pollution. After processing I can usually get some pretty good stuff out after I work on it a bit.

I've been up to Rattlesnake before, not a bad place. Stability can sometimes be a problem there I've seen in the past. I somehow do my best work from my backyard since I don't have to set up, align, reboot a few times, cuss for 10 minutes, then finally get things working. I just open the roof, boot the computer, align on one star and then I'm ready to go!
