The views at night were one of the reasons why i enjoyed living at Austin Ranch. At the time, they were just building the complex -- so there wasnt a whole lot of people out there. And eventually, i ended up in a building on top of a hill facing west with 6ft high windows. Anytime a storm rolled through i could see it an hour out, lightning just bouncing off the ground on the way in. And it was in the middle of the aircraft patterns of DAL, ADS, and DFW, so i could watch traffic in and out.
Anyway, because it was almost middle of nowhere at the time (and like 3am) light pollution wasnt a problem on this night. So i was able to get some star pics from the field across from the complex.
