Hot damn that's a cool astro shot

I've been trying to work on astrophotography intermittently now for a little while but living in the Pacific Northwest makes it pretty tough lol

Seeing you do this with the Star Adventurer makes me hopeful

Very cool

Thanks! With this focal length the star adventurer is more than sufficient.
