Yes it does look like Speedy was really enjoying himself, hope you did too.
That is quite a forest in you dad's property. Very idyllic looking.
It does look like we in Calif are socked in for quite some time too come.
We used to go visit our relatives in Oklahoma and Texass every other year when I was young.
So I can appreciate the southern hospitality.

I was particularly mesmerized by how Southern gals talked when at an equipment school in Tulsa in the late 1970's.
"Coffee, Please." At a restaurant counter.
"You want Grits with that, Honey?" the waitress would say with a silver tongue, leaning in with her cleavage....
You couldn't order a candy bar without getting asked if you wanted Grits with it.
I'll never forget Molly Murphy's House of Fine Repute. A restaurant where your server was a themed caricature from Alice in Wonderland, when I was there. What a great time that was.

I'll get back to you, I purchased a couple "action"items for PS, sometimes, they improve, sometimes not. I do use some of Ed's tips too.

It was a beautiful clear windless night with only 33% humidity.
This is a stack of 10 each Lights, Darks and Bias shots.
My PHD2 guiding was tracking very well in the windless atmosphere.
I had no idea this would turn out so well after stacking and stretching it.

I assume this is cropped, do you have the uncropped version?

Very well done, I have thought about trying to shoot this and the Lagoon but it is so low on my horizon that I doubt I could get any real detail out of it.
Very nice colors,

Hi Craig, I hope you don't mind but I couldn't resist playing with your image?
I used various high pass filters to lift the dark & high contrasts, colour sample to remove some of the star colours & halo's
