While I was busy running around the state with a video camera this week, the beautiful sunsets kept coming. We’re now in a state of full moon, which means we’re on track for a new moon (ie, no moon) for the Orionid Meteor Shower in a couple of weeks. We’ve had Aurora Borealis events lately, and I’ve actually captured some streaking meteors on film lately too!

Winters in the Bismarck-Mandan area tend to mean hazy skies filled with ice crystals, making stargazing difficult over much of the year. If you are fascinated by the sights above, we’re truly winding down for the year. I’ll be keeping my eyes on those North Dakota skies…how ’bout you?
