Description

Shot from my backyard in Fort Worth under Bortle 7-8 sky.  This was my third pass at this target over the course of a month and my most successful to date.  Dealing with some elongated stars around the edges which I've been working to resolve since.  Looking forward to taking another, better, stab at this one when it rolls back around again.
