Description

Hey, by no means was this intended to be a great shot...
On one of my last nights in California, end of this summer, Orion was out just before dawn while I was still finishing up another session.
I thought...why not. Let's see if I can catch that horse before dawn swallows the big hunter.
I only had good 30 minutes and I got it. That's the beauty of a fast Newtonian.
