Good point Lev. I brought the tripod because I was considering using ND filters to enable me to take a long exposure image to express the movement of the clouds. I wasn’t happy with that result. Also I was playing around with Timelapse photography.

Well, aren't you spoiled. All I've got around me is suburbs and corn fields. :)

Larry, you and Lev are crazy!! The lengths you go to in order to win Unofficial Race are amazing. And yes, I can imagine your wife's reaction, this is so wild.

Congrats on the well deserved Blue and the astronomical score with a new PB! Very few DPCers ever get 8+, I am envious :)

Thanks Lev,
Some advice. Don’t ever try to superglue batteries to your head!!! Just kidding. I used a special adhesive tape similar to duct tape. I used insulated wire under the batteries on the tape to make a headband and I tied the tape around my head. I was able to fit the headband by tying the ends of the wire tightly around my head in the back.
