Night Sky 2

The pictures in this gallery are of the night sky; stars and planets, galaxies, meteorites, etc. These are entirely experimental as we test ideas and processes and learn how to do this kind of work. Prints won't be available for many of these; as we learn more and image quality improves some of these photos will be replaced by better ones.

We have a separate gallery for photos of the moon, including eclipses, full moon images, and more.
