I had a few glorious dark (for bortle 5-6) nights and was able to get a lot of nice eagle nebula shots a month or so ago. I’m constantly battling the hippie ‘don’t cut down the few old trees left in this suburb’ part of me with the ‘get your leaves and branches out of my damn shot, I’m trying to capture space’ part

It just took a collection of bombs and careful aiming. We as a species are really good at throwing things pretty accurately and at messing with controlling fire

I kid, it’s awesome we were able to make it happen and the wealth of knowledge gained by doing it

Cries in astrophotographer in the suburbs who’s had one cloudless night in a fortnight

So a regular day, just add the vacuum of space, for me then. Good to know
