I can't rep you again, kdog, because I already repped you for the first shot. But those are some amazing photos! If I saw something like that flying overhead, that would probably be the one time I left the camera at home.

Ha, I think not. When you battle rush hour traffic and 20,000 people crowding onto an air force base, you do not forget your camera.
I was going through some of my very early images using my current set up and found the master for this image, which I have now remixed. I had some focusing and guiding problems, and am not satisfied with the star colors, but considering that I only got abut 40 minutes of useful data, it didn't turn out too bad.
