Description

This shows a stack of 50 out of 75 subs taken during 20 mph wind gusts with 16 Lbs of equipment on a mount rated at 12 Lbs. There was a crescent moon present during the first hour but the sky was so clear, I had to give it a try. I was supprised at how well it turned out. You can take pictures under non optimum conditions if you don't demand perfection.
