Description

This is a special one for me. It's the first time I attempted to shoot an object in my South Philly "backyard" aka an alley between row homes so my view is very restricted. Fortunately I have a clear shot at Polaris to align. To add on to that, I live across the street from the 24/7 bright neon of Pat's and Geno's cheesesteak corner! I was able to get 6+ hrs on this target. The plan is to continue adding over the winter. It's not the best shot or aligned properly but this just goes to show you can shoot anywhere regardless of the bad light pollution if you try!
