Description

After many weeks, we finally had a cloudless and moonless night. So I packed up all my gear and drove to a darker suburban site to do some imaging. Compared to my regular inner city skies, the view here was truly amazing, I could see the milky way for the first time in my life. Constellations were even more difficult to observe because of all the extra stars. Meanwhile, my camera was gathering photons from our nearest neighbor, the Andromeda galaxy. I wanted to capture at least one hour worth of data, and finished right before dew fogged up my lens.
