Description

Took advantage of a break in the cloudcover on NYE in Upstate NY to break out the equipment for the first time in an long time.

Not a traditional scope, but a Sony A7s with a Sony 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3, at the full 600mm.  I'm pretty happy with what came out of the 23 mins or so before the clouds rolled in!
