    Great video and beautiful shots! I absolutely LOVE Big Bend! I go out there alone at least once every year. If it wasn’t for the almost 10 hour drive from Houston I’d go way more. Love the stargazing, I always try and go during new moons. Can’t wait for my trip there in a week!

    Hey Mallory, This is the stuff I love. If you can mention the gear you carried and what you are shooting with when you capture those one in 10000 gems. Thanks for your comment on my dark sky fail. Haha. I’m not discouraged. I’m 61 and will soon make time for National Park tours. In fact going to Acadia soon.

    Very nice, very informative. I've gotten into panos a few years back and didn't care for all the stitching. I've since picked up a 6x17 medium format film camera and used it extensively during a road trip to Saguaro NP and Joshua Tree. I'm in DFW area and planning a road trip to Big Bend in the near future. Using Photopills app for full moon and/or milky way timing. You have a new subscriber.
