Three nights in a row of perfect skies last week in Oregon

I finally had a stretch of clear skies for three nights straight here in Bend. Got my scope out Wednesday night and caught Andromeda with more detail than I've ever seen. Thursday I tried a wide shot of the Milky Way core setting over the Cascades and it actually came out sharp. Friday was the real win though - I sat out from 10pm to 2am just watching Jupiter and its moons drift across the eyepiece. Has anyone else had a week where everything just lined up for you?

Three nights in a row clear in Oregon? That's basically winning the weather lottery.

Yeah @rose_hart31 you hit it perfectly, I’ve lived here my whole life and still get shocked when the stars actually show up. It’s like Oregon saves up all its clear nights for the one week you really want to test your gear.
