Great pic thanks SC! I can see the large quite easily here most nights and the small on a good dark night but they sure don’t look like that!

I got kinda interested in astro-photography at one time, to the point where I went to a local astronomy club to hear a talk on it. It was very interesting and the guy had some great photos taken with an 8” scope. After the meeting a lot of members set up their scopes and you could go from scope-to-scope looking at the night sky. However, I also learned that photos, like the one shown here, done with a small telescope required “layering” over 300 still photos taken over days of night viewing. I know myself well enough to know I don’t have the patience for that.
