    Great image Gary. I love the contrast between the star clouds and dark nebulae. Do you still shoot with the Hassy?

  2. Gary says:

    Hi Brian:
    Thanks!
    Yes, the Hassy and I are still good friends, though I tend to reserve it for dedicated outings. I even use it for travel from time to time:

    Gary,
    Great shot from your other career! How is it there’s no star tracks at 20 min? Motorized tripod or just shooting larger negative?

  4. Gary says:

    Thanks Bob. Yes, I used a tracking mount to compensate for Earth’s rotation. Without that, you’re quite correct — the stars would be mere streaks across the frame.
    Gary
