    I took a few shots of the beautiful Sagittarius region and stacked them and got a pretty satisfying wide-field shot of the area. I identified some of the Messier objects. You can even see some wisps of the Milky Way:D

    Very cool image, Reggie! Up here in Podunk, Sagittarius is too low to the horizon to give satisfying views - for the most part.

    I'm jealous -

    Thanks, Dave. I'm fortunate to be far south enough to glimpse into the center of our little whirlpool. This was a particularly good night of seeing. The humidity down here during summers makes clear seeing a challenge sometimes, especially near the horizons!
