so. dylan and i went deep sky object hunting the other night, found a few notables.. most impressive (to me) was just how much detail in andromeda we could gather from the light information naked-eye (binoculars), and dylan's photos of the LMC & SMC. these parts of the sky are foreign to me, as i started this hobby back in january when the sky looked very different. i had seen the magellanic clouds before, but had never thought to photograph them. that will definitely have to change after having seen them in last night's conditions.
for more info about this awesome irregular galaxy, zoom over to wikipedia.
this image is dylan's, i played with it in lightroom a bit. you can view the original here.
stay tuned! lots more photos to come from subsequent trips, we're gonna make this a regular thing. the sky is just too gorgeous 30 minutes out of town not to keep at it.
