Description

Amazing vista at Glacier point that night. Waited til 4 AM to see Orion rise. It was a kids dream to "touch" the Horse Head. Scope certainly too small to see it, but camera perfect to capture it. It was also my first steps real steps in astrophotography and I want to thank Erik Zbinden and the Peninsula Astronomical Society (Los Altos, California) for their advice.
