Smoke is crazy. Like living on Mars. Manually set camera's white balance to 5600K and even then it doesn't do it justice. It looks redder and dimmer to my eyes. #Boston

13 years ago today. I used to go to the beach and catch mellow people going to their cars for stargazing. IIRC, this is when Jupiter and Venus were visible pretty early. Then I'd stick around to take some photos then go home. #astronomy #telescope
