Dusk in the desert can be a magical time. The sun has just set, temperatures continue to cool and pink and orange hues take over the landscape.
Star parties are a great way to experience that time of day. Here are a couple aerial shots as star party guests at GMARS gather and get ready for an evening of observing and imaging.

And, of course, here's an aerial video of the Landers area. It features the area at dusk, a 1-mile flight from GMARS to
CS3 and back, flyovers of star party-goers, and a flight over
Kate's Lazy Desert (at the end of the video).
