Both Friday and Saturday evenings looked to be good for star gazing. I headed over to the Green Lake boat launch to see the sunset and, hopefully, the Milky Way.
It was well after dark Friday before I got over there, so missed the sunset. However, the stars were very nice. You can just make out the milky way in the center of the image. Still, there is a lot of light pollution, even when looking away from Traverse City.

I did manage to catch the sunset on Saturday evening. It wasn’t spectacular, but was nice.
