Thanks, Ronny. Amazing lightning in that last shot.

I'm returning home from my trip to Banff National Park, Canada tomorrow. Lot's to got through. While the weather didn't quite cooperate with the epic scenery, it's just a magnificent place. It seemed like when we wanted clouds we either had too many (overcast) or too few. When we wanted to do some astrophotography, we had clouds and no milky way.
Here's a few of my quick favorites. They're not quite done on the post end but certainly good enough to share.
Welcome back, Bob. Very impressive first set, in particular the reflections are amazing. Looking forward to seeing more no doubt great shots.
One brief comment re milky way: You probably are aware of this already, but just in case: Even without clouds, it probably would have been very hard to get detailed shots of the milky way even in the clean air of Banff this week, because of moon light. In the current moon phase, you would have very little time without bright moon light effecting your shots. I checked briefly the other day and had I gone out to do some astrophotography here in Japan (I didn't, I was too tired and the weather wasn't great either), I would have had only one hour or so in the early morning without moonlight. Great milky way shots usually require clean air, no clouds, great seeing, little/no light pollution, low humidity and preferably a new moon, which makes them so difficult to get.
