Description

By Grabthar’s Hammer, by the suns of Worvan, you shall be imaged! I’ve been on a Galaxy Quest this winter. It’s my first galaxy season with the Celestron. I live in Dallas, which is a Bortle 8/9. And the moon was high and bright when I shot this. Normally, that's a fool's errand. But we'd only had two clear nights all year, and after spending the previous week hunkered down in my house freezing off my globular clusters, I had to shoot something. I don't own a gun, so it had to be with the scope--moon, or no moon.
