Stargazing at City of Rocks State Park, NM

A scene at the public “Parks ‘n Stars” stargazing night, March 15, 2015, at the City of Rocks State Park, New Mexico, and at their Gene and Elizabeth Simons Observatory in the Orion group campground. Here, I pose with the iPad set up on a tripod running Sky Safari, for people to use to move around the sky and identify constellations. The Big Dipper is in the sky to the east.
