Astronomy Fun Fact:

If you have a camera with manual settings, you can try your hand at simple astrophotography. For exposures such as this one (10 minutes) you will need an equatorial mount with tracking drive for the camera rather than a simple tripod.

Anyone see any Perseids last week?

Get on the list!
