[AZ-Observing] Re: APOD picture of the duh Peaks

Yeah, the sky is offset about 3.5 degrees downward in that shot to  
allow foreground blurring to be tucked away. Shooting directly south  
was a really bad idea in retrospect--not to mention shooting on a  
night when the dome shutters were closed =)

The Duriscoes' photo has really got me itching to get out and get some  
more night sky/landscape photos around these parts. It might be  
interesting to get one or two where Flagstaff proper is in the frame  
to see how well contained the light dome is in comparison to the  
surrounding deep sky.
