Description

Capturing a majority of the data for this image was a rare treat--typically we have to travel out to a nearby park and sit in the cold to get data (20 min of this data was captured elsewhere a few weeks prior). We had access to a house with a backyard with a decent view of the sky, so were able to set up then go inside and sit by the fireplace while we captured the data! Luxury!! There was some haze and light clouds which ultimately limited my total exposure time (and affected the overall quality of the data), but overall the experience was great and I can't wait for the day that I have my own backyard to use
