Description

I've been wanting to shoot Lagoon and Triffid for a little while now, but I got a new telescope, so of course it's been cloudy as heck lately! My first night out with the new (to me) ED80 Triplet, I fought clouds all night. Even though it was pretty clear, the clouds wanted to drift RIGHT into my shot! The second night out, I forgot my battery! I was going to pack it all in and head home, but my wife offered to bring it to me and I'm so lucky (in so many ways!) that she did! it ended up being a great night and really the clearest it's been for me in some time! Even the humidity subsided a bit!
