Reflecting on the Andromeda Galaxy
***Please be sure to view Large on Black (click on the picture or press L for lightbox) in order to best see the Andromeda Galaxy details***
A view of the Andromeda Galaxy from Merrit Reservoir shows just how low the light pollution is in this part of Nebraska. Small light domes from Valentine and surrounds show up on the horizon here, but I have found very few locations dark enough for Andromeda to be so visible. They have a pretty famous star party here every year for astronomy fans, I can understand how it got so popular now. Wow!

Cool. I've been there. It's kinda creepy at night with the coyotes whining nearby. This is also where they hold the Nebraska Star Party...that big nerd fest.

Still looking good at ISO 3200, but this is a D700...Not possible with a D300. I am hoping to buy a D3s next year!

really nice! always surprising since I move to Fairbanks, even in winter, with the sun just over the horizon to the north, we don't get the very dark skies I remember from when I lived in Colorado.
