Description

Decided to close out the 2021 year with this poster/collage of what I feel are some of my favorite images. I'm not normally a big "starless" fan, but there was something about the Horsehead Nebula image I took that just stood out for me, so that's why I made it the centerpiece. I know many didn't like it but its got to be my favorite right now.
Plans for 2022: I have just picked up a 12" f/4 newt that I'm in the process of getting ready to mount it and start working with. I'm very anxious to get working with it, but I still have a secondary dew heater enroute for it and I need to mount my EAF to the focuser yet.

I wish everyone an abundance of clear skies in 2022!

Happy New Year!

Dale
