A day before I headed back to the bay area I took this brief shot of the Tucson night sky. On a clear night the stars shine bright as can be because of the lack of “light pollution” in the city. I snapped this quick shot on the outskirts of town. If you look close you can see two stars as the sun was setting. The first, and largest being Venus. Then 5 minutes later when I got a bit darker you could see Mercury.
