Description

A few days before shooting this target with the FSQ85, I took out the EON130 in the driveway and shot for a few hours (ultimately discarding a large number of Lights for some reason that I have since forgotten - likely wind) ....

After getting back into Astrophotography (in the summer of 2021), I could only have dreamed of capturing and processing to whatever degree my images now are.  I barely knew how to stack, or what to do with the result, let alone what Flats and Darks and Dark Flats were.  A shout out to @Nico Carver and CJ Nunes for kick starting this  journey.

However, and this is as sincere as I can be, subsequently (and currently) learning from the incredibly accomplished Astrophotographer, @Terry Hancock , is what allows me to do what I (we all) do ... like taking piano lessons from Chopin ....

This is a fantastic community.  I am amazed and encouraged every day ....
