This is where it all started in July 2003 in my front yard.
After a nearly 10 year hiatus from serious astro activities and having cut my teeth extensively
in emulsion astrophotography, during the 1980's, I nearly shit myself when, after a mere 1 or 2min
expousre (can't remember which) this image came up on the screen! I literally ran around in circles,
punching the air, singing Hallelujah!

StarlightXpress MX716 & LX200 12" GPS at F4, single 1-2min exposure, not sure which.
