Thanks. I mainly do astro but I live in a capital city so most of my images probably count as a "road trip" haha. But I love getting out on the bike so 6 hours in the saddle isn't a big deal for me.

Yes! I'm a flunky camera guy, but I understand the trips away from night light pollution. Was amazed my daughter suggested we go out to watch a meteor shower from a mountain valley, which was okay. Taking a road to the desert overlook, we were "blinded" by cities an hour away. They looked like huge campfires on a beach at night. No wonder the ancients could focus better on celestial objects.
