You pretty much have to go to someplace like northern Arizona or rural Utah to see the true beauty of the night sky. That actually will probably play a significant role in deciding where I want to retire someday 25-30ish years from now.

National Geographic wrote a really cool article about light pollution a couple years or so ago. I go outside, and I just simply don't see stuff like this:

Absolutely, theres nothing like being waaay out in the country on a clear night. Back in my service days, i spent untold hours using my night vision goggles to stare at the sky while out in the field, the sky literally explodes with stars when you're wearing those on a clear night out in the boonies.

Sorry the Orion nebula, which is about 1400 light years away, is what I was thinking of. You can go to half douses on your vitamins.

New start of a pic for today....

Barnard 33. Known to most people as the horse head nebula.

Took me awhile to get a shot of this little guy. Always cloudy when I tried.

How exactly do you keep a 60 hour exposure without noticing any movement? I mean the Earth is moving, right?

Sounds like you're looking for God.
