Deslandres

#1

Post by MrShorty »


The Friday before Halloween, I thought about going out to a dark site. My report from that night -- it was just too cold and I chickened out. I am ashamed.

To partially make up for that, the other night was good seeing, so I got a nice shot of Deslandres and the surrounding lunar surface.
