Me too.:D
Except this version has been photoshopped by ILM. The original wasn't near as clean looking. Crazy kids and their damn computers.

Great pics Adam... especially Andromeda.

Just got finished re-reading a book entitled "Big Bang" by Simon Singh. He's an outstanding writer and makes scientific writing extremely digestable for the rest of us. Anyhow, a good portion of it has to do with the scientists scouring the earth for the choicest spots (least amount of 'noise') to take their photos from... often risking their lives.

Keep the photos coming

Cool stuff.
Amazing what is out there for us to wonder about life in other worlds.

We as a society have perhaps been spoiled by the images from Hubble. It is great of you to remind us what we can experience from our own backyard. Thank you, and please give us more when you can.

Thanks guys! I'm sure more will be coming, but the weather hasn't been so kind. I'm processing a few right now, but I don't think they'll make the final cut.

Awesome Adam. Did you try to get any pictures of the meteor shower the other day?

My wife and I went to our clubs observatory and watched the shower from darker skies. It was beautiful out, but my camera was hooked up to my scope shooting the above pictures so I didn't get any meteor pics. I did see 5 meteors and my wife saw 13.

I went out last night and saw 5 confirmed and 3 possible. If it was warmer I would have stayed out longer.

We had bundled up for the night, but it was chilly.
