Description

Borrowed some friends' gear to get this shot together. A nice clear night and co-operative polar alignment allowed me to get a decent amount of time on a target I've wanted to shoot properly for a long time. 

Perhaps not the most stunning result, but I think an admirable one given the gear used.
