Description

This is the first one I shot at the CAAS Observatory on my first night joining the club. The darkness of the sky was excellent. Just wish I had gotten more subs on this image, but shooting it from my backyard wasn't really an option and I would've had to go back to the observatory to get more.

Here again, I think my smoothing is too aggressive, but I'm working on it.

Unfortunately the pillars aren't as obvious as I would've liked, but it may not be possible with such a wide field scope.
