Description

Image was taken during my first trip to the John Glenn Astronomy Park at Hocking Hills State Park in Ohio. The skies are decent there (green zone), not as good as at Calhoun Co in WV but half the drive (for me). Park is highly recommended, as it offers power and a nice patio like area shielded from light.

Image was captured using an unmodified Canon T3i on a night of mediocre transparency. Lens is the Canon 50mm F/1.8 STM set for F/2.8. Camera at ISO 1600
