@hutaffe Thanks!!! Yes, they are all taken and processed by yours truly from my front yard.

@parag Very nice! Are you away from light pollution, or does the equipment adjust to that?

@parag amazing.

@bloftin2 Thanks!

@odd I live in rural Connecticut with somewhat dark skies. On moonless nights, I can easily make out the Milky Way. That said, this photo was taken with a narrowband filter to reduce light pollution which was mostly from almost full moon. 😊

@parag that’s a great image. Makes you realize how small we really are in the scope of things, but it serves us well to know there’s something bigger out there than us.
