Description

On the last of five consecutive clear nights, I pointed the Explore Scientific ED80 at The Swan for two hours. My intent was to compare it to a shot from the previous night using different gear. I like the results. What this rendition lacks in color, it makes up for in detail.

This swan looks like it's swimming so fast that the friction from its speedy travel set it ablaze.
