Description

It seems as though the desert is unforgiving to those seeking the stars, especially during the months of spring. Dust storms carrying upwards of 1000μg/m3 of particulate mass becomes the norm while we cover our faces to protect our lungs. Astronomers are howere a tenacious bunch, and tenacity often manufactures luck. Amidst the storms, there were blissful moments of silence and incredible seeing. It was on one of those occasions that I mounted my equipment and captured my best shot of our home galaxy, somewhere in the middle of a vast emptiness. Satisfied, I drove home and into the wall of the approaching dust.
