Wow, how beautiful!
My kids began a class for homeschoolers on astronomy last night, taught by a HS dad enthusiast. I am going to see how I can use my DSLR to take photos with his telescope. Another autodidact project for ME.
The pic is really nice!! And your Blog also!! Wish you the best for your Blog!
