      Thanks. We almost missed it hahaha. That day, we drove out there (a 3-hour drive one way) specifically for the night shot. They turned on the lights in the evening, but only left them on for 45 minutes. We hadn't started flying because it was still too bright out. Then suddenly the Roy's lights were turned off. Had to beg the cafe employee to turn it back on for just a few more minutes
