If the SpaceX Starlink launch is still go by around midnight tonight, then I plan to try to launch a night flight.  This will be testing out a low-light camera and a method of securing the payload to the balloon with a stick.  Landing would be north of Youngsville after 2am (I'll probably just gather coordinates and then go back at a reasonable time to recover).  With rocket, thunderstorms, moon, and bright planets, hopefully I can capture something.
