Description

My most recent work following a lot of work flocking my SVX102T and everything else back to the filter wheel. Tedious work but it really paid off killing unwanted reflections from the OAG and the light leak from the MoonLight focuser.  This is all acquired from my backyard in late August and Early September 2021 working around the moon and all the smoke we have had from fires this year. Some of my friends say they see this as a lady walking through the stars framed this way.
