Starry Night 2


There is a definite benefit to living in a rural community, the stars are significantly more brilliant than in a city. Still, I'm always surprised how much light pollution is generated from the 250 people in our town---this pollution "washes" the sky with an orange-ish tint, which limits you viewing the night sky. Nonetheless, I was able to get a pretty good image of the Milky-Way, it's still extremely faint, but this represents the limits of my current hardware to capture it.
