Description

Shot this Tuesday night past under a near full moon. There was a frost warning in effect and I suspect I saw some evidence of that in the atmosphere reflecting the moonlight everywhere and generally increasing the sky brightness. That said, I only ended up tossing out ONE of 281 30s exposures. Pretty happy with the end result :-)
