probably old hat to most of you folks, but if you knew my equipment and
the conditions it was shot under, you'd likely consider it a miracle.

the framing is off, I like the diffraction pattern formed around the
bright stars by my SCT. This shot was a miracle....windy with gusts up
to 20 mph. Seems like I was in a little pocket of (relatively) calm
air, so I don't think I got the worst of the wind that night. I could
hear it screaming through the mountain pass ~1/4 mile away. I stood in
front of the scope acting as a wind break while my fiance sat inside the
car watching a DVD. :) Temperature was about 20F.
