Description

A night at the Astronomical Society of Kansas City dark sky site. Alas, I brought everything except for my guide camera! So I upped my camera ISO to 3200 and shot 60 second images instead of several minutes. So the night wasn't a complete bust for imaging. I was surprised to pickup some of the fainter dust in short exposures.
