Description

Wasn't sure if the clouds would ever clear and the light pollution in the neighborhood is only getting worse. So many stars that my initial view of sharp stars needs some work but given I wasn't even sure I could capture this subject in light pollution with just over a quarter moon in the sky, I am happy enough for now.
