Description

We drove 5 hours north to find some of the darkest skies on the east coast, Cherry Springs, PA. I had been there once before and was amazed at how wonderfully dark the sky was, but this time transparency and seeing were so good I was able to make out individual stars in the milky way. Two nights there for an unforgettable experience. I shot three targets. This is one of them!

45x180 = 2 hours on target 🤯 and alllll this data!
