Can't wait for winter!!!

Never thought I'd hear myself say it, but I can't wait for winter!!  Those nights when it's already getting dark around 1700 mean I can get setup and snapping on school nights.  This time of year just doesn't lend itself to astrophotography (my last photos were back in April).  Even at the weekends when the weather is clear it just isn't dark enough to start taking snaps before 2300.  Still, gives me time to work on other things.
