Hello,
Had the opportunity to spend the night on Palomar Mountain a couple weeks ago. We stayed with my Sister-in-Law and her family in a home that sat right on the side of the mountain a few miles form the observatory.
The view over the valley was amazing and one of the best places so far that I have had the opportunity to fly my drone. Everything was completely open.
At night the start came out and I was able to capture some amazing photos. I am still learning how to do long exposure shots but some of them came out really well.
