My wife’s friends in Paducah, KY, were able to get pretty nice pics with their I-phone, even in town! I was surprised.

Wifey, daughter-san, and I were at the wildlife area about an hour ago. At times we could pick out a little structure by naked eye. At others it was just a faint, diffuse glow. There’s a little night-glow from nearby towns — I wish I could figure out a darker spot. Maybe up in the National Forest if I want to drive a bit over an hour... (Nope.)

Wifey tried to take pics with her Galaxy phone, but all it picked up was darkness. I do have an old Panasonic digicam that has a “nighttime” setting, but for it to work well I’d almost have to put the camera on a tripod or other stable mount. 11:45 pm now — Maybe I’ll just wait for more pics from others.

I went out again a little while ago — the glow had subsided a bit, but returned: Seems like less structure than B4, but more coverage. It’s still mostly just a faint, diffuse glow to the naked eye.
