I had a memorable trip to southern Texas in August 1993 ~ I didn't go to Big Bend National
Park, but rather drove down to South Padre Island in an attempt to do some astronomy, but
decided that wasn't suitable for some reason. I drove back up and stopped at a point
near Carrizo Springs to take pictures. It was quite dark where I was except for some
kind of bright light source due south which affected this picture in particular. The slide
film I was using at the time showed the sky with a purplish tint. Many of the clusters
and nebulae in the frame are marked. Carrizo Springs is at latitude 28°30' which
is further south than any place in Big Bend. Back
