Very nice!! Lovely image!

I like the observatory, where is it located?

I was thinking about shooting this at Okie-Tex but seeing yours I may have to find another target :wink:

Hi,

Thanks for the comment! This object is very generous and works well for narrow and wife FOVs.

I’ve never been to TX start party, it is a 6h drive from my place… one day.

Enjoy the dark sky, and clear skies!

Cheers,

Jose
