I was up till three this morning observing in my backyard in west Phoenix. A wonderful night. The temperature and humidity were reasonable and the sky fairly steady. In addition to some photometry I took some quick shots of M57 and M13. I was impressed with how well they turned out. I suspect the dark sky folks had a great night too.
