DKC Dodged a Bullet

Well, the weather turned out a whole lot better than expected. Thanks to the Durham Kennel Club for inviting us to shoot. Tracy - a good job as usual! Here's Sony peeling off the table. See you all in Gloucester after our trip to Bali.

NGC4565

Up to the no frills star party at Tuckahoe State Park in Maryland this weekend. Here's one of NGC4565 from about 3am. Cool edge on galaxy about 20 million light years away in Coma Berenices. This is about 2 hours of exposure.

Terrific weather at the Merrimac trials this weekend. Thanks to the club and Emily and Nelson for having us. Sorry we popped the breaker:-) See you all at DKC in a couple of weeks.
