That is amazing!
This experiment worked so well that the next decently clear night I'm going to go on a long expedition to a site 5 minutes away that looks south-ish right down the fjord/sound I live on, and should be able to capture the full Milky Way galactic core (and not obstructed by my driveway trees as you see above), with any luck framed by the mountains on either side of the island.Quote:

Yes! The trees add so much to this image.Quote:

These pictures are absolutely beautiful, and awe-inspiring as well. Thank you so much for sharing them!
Cosmic protoplasm; we really don't have a clue.
Lovely pictures, bae.
I know there are some former NJ folks and possibly current NJ folks on the board, so thought you might like to see this. It is today's Astronomy Picture of the Day taken in Belmar, NJ.
