Wow! One can get lost staring into something that is unimaginably massive.

Great shots, Rob.

How long is the exposure on something like that? I assume you have some high-end tracking software and motors? That's really good detail!

Thanks. Yeah, I have a tracking mount, but it's kind of cheap as far as mounts go. It was a bunch of pics that combined to about 4 hours.
