@George
I was following Chris Watson’s lead regarding recording overnight vs coming out before first light to press record. In the end, this approach saved us all a lot of storage space. It also made for some good bonding among the attendees. This approach comes at the cost of lost sleep of course. Also, I would not have traded seeing the sun rise over rural Sweden for anything. That alone made the trip worthwhile. But yes, there are obviously times where letting the recorder roll or starting to record from a timer makes more sense.

@JD
The red tripod is http://promaster.com/Product/2675
I bought it on a whim as I was headed to the airport for the trip. In many ways (size/weight) I now prefer it to my Mefoto tripod. But both are great. Also, check this out, you can get on the waiting list, and people do drop out: http://chriswatson.net/2017/10/15/murmurations/

Thanks Jack!

Would love to do one of these trips next year.

What kind of stand is that red one, pictured over the river?

Quick question: wasn’t it easier to set up in the evenings and record overnight?
