MOAU 7 Saturday Sunset

Yesterday was the first that we stayed to sunset up at the range. Given the snowy and possibly icy conditions it may not have been the wisest decision. We were coming down the hill tired and grumpy and with no support, usually at least two trucks leave at the same time and we can support each other in case one goes off into a snow bank (this has happened at least once, before I got here). Yesterday, however, one of the trucks had a problem that required service so it went down early and the other truck left before sunset as well.

Happily, we made it down that dark, snowy, partially unpaved road safely and I can bring you a couple of pictures of the sunset we saw while calibrating our telescopes by the stars.
