It has been a long summer, retina surgery had me laid up for a few months. But, finally back out to take some astro photos.

This was taken with a D5300 and 300mm f/2.8 VR... 300 x 30 second exposures.

Stunning!

It's good to know that you're recovering from your retina surgery.

Spectacular image! I never could wrap my brain around the sizes and distances we are looking at here.
I had retinal surgery 3 years ago. It takes a while to get used to the new normal. Glad you are back shooting.

Thanks, it has been a slow process.

Thanks! The gas bubble completely went away on Thanksgiving (12 weeks after surgery)....now to wait another month to see if the surgery worked. My 3 favorite pastimes are astro, woodworking and flying.... all were not possible... but eating junk food and watching TV worked... lol

Another brilliant image, Kevin!

Thanks Andy!
