Hi Jack! I’m a Canadian living about an hour and a half from you in Muscle Shoals. Love your reflections shot this morning and look forward to more!

Hi all! I learned of this group from a gentleman I met at Wheeler Dam in Rogersville, AL. I've live in Huntsville for 2+ years now having relocated from Folsom, CA. I enjoy nature and wildlife photography the most. I love trying to shoot the Milky Way and would love to find dark sky areas here in northern Alabama. I guess I was spoiled in NorCal. I'm attaching one I took outside of Auburn, AL a month or so ago. I look forward to being part of this group!
Welcome but if you're from California, you're no Yankee lol

Welcome to the forum!
This site, https://www.go-astronomy.com/dark-sky-sites.php doesn’t show any dark sky locations in Alabama but there are a couple a few hours drive north in Tennessee. Check ‘em out. Beautiful countryside scenes and autumn colors up that way as well.

Welcome, and great shot! I was stationed in Huntsville at Redstone Arsenal in 1974-75, when the had the Missile and Munitions school there. Many fond memories of the town. My son went to UAH for his undergraduate studies. Lots to do and see there, and I'm sure you've discovered the Space and Rocket Center, and Guntersville Lake. Just watch out for the horrific storms/tornadoes that seem to be prevalent in the area! The town and Monte Sano got clobbered in late 1974!
Best wishes and keep shooting!
