South view San Juan mountains in the distance.
I grew up in Montrose - those adobe hills in the south view look familiar!

That's a nice shot!
I looked into the equipment required for tracking, and decided that I don't need another expense like that right now. I haven't looked into DIY solutions at this point, but honestly I don't need another project at this point. I might just set up the camera out on the balcony to see what I can do sometime, and do some reading, but it's doubtful I'll come up with anything like this image.

We're starting to get some good color in the sunsets, and some clouds help too.
This one is a little dark, but it's SooC, and I'm lazy.
I like the effect the trees with no leaves have. It feels like a late fall shot actually. The clouds with the long swirling patterns look great too.
Feels like Halloween. Because Everyday is Halloween.
I can understand what Edvard Munch saw when he painted The Scream. hehehe
I've been trying to get some blue sky in some of the images, too. It's surprising how difficult it can be to get that balance between the blue and orange of the sunset.
I've been shooting these sunsets handheld, whereas last year just about all the sunsets were shot on a tripod. I was shooting with very low ISO last year, but decided to switch things up a bit. I haven't dragged out the 200-600 zoom yet, but anticipate that won't be far off. There are people shooting birds in flight handheld with that lens. With that in mind, shooting a sunset should be within my capabilities. heh.

You're shooting a Sony A7Riv, if I remember what you posted somewhere correctly. That's got about 5 stops of sensor stabilisation. Shooting just about anything handheld with a long lens is possible.
The funny thing about that is I tend to forget to turn image stabilization on when migrating from shooting macro image stacks to something handheld like sunsets. I was wondering about that a few days ago, and checked yesterday when some storms rolled through and I set up for lightning. Found that it was turned off. It's one of those settings you know you should turn on, but it gets lost in the mix when converting the camera to another style of shooting.
