Description

I didn't even know this target was available to me until I shot the MilkyWay during the past new moon. It is so low and so close to trees I did not think I would get much when I shot it. And I did not get much. This is 23@ 180seconds taken over 3 nights, mostly just before dark. It is a crop from a composite of M8 and M 20 that needs more data. This hobby is nuts. I was going to toss this file in the bin after the first night thinking what could I do with 11 lights shooting almost parallel to the ground?
