Dry Lake is a seasonal lake located south of Medicine Lake, California. I ended up camping right here as I was treated to a spectacular view of the night sky w/ absolutely dead quiet air. I could've spent the entire night awake watching the stars. There was initially some haze from distant fires but it seemed to be dissipating. At this time in mid-July 2020, Comet NEOWISE was in its prime viewing, hovering low on the northwest horizon. The comet was discovered on March 27, 2020 & is the brightest comet seen with the naked eye since Hale-Bopp in 1997. Here one can see two tails that extend from it, plus a nice view of the Milky Way & Andromeda Galaxies.
