Hopeful - Mount Laguna, California
Hopeful - There's something about looking up at a sky filled with stars that can be hard to describe. Often, I've used quotes from Carl Sagan, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Chris Hadfield or many other inspiring figures in the space & science community that seem to really resonate. The truth is that looking in to a endless amount of stars can feel overwhelming. You can easily feel insignificant and unimportant. A small speck, just lost within a universe. Although I completely understand and have even felt these ways before, it's not how I feel now. I look up and I feel awe. I feel inspired that I am part of this amazing universe. I look up and I feel hopeful. .

Just perfect! Astrophotgraphy is your main photography subject or?
(I love it)
Thank you!! Yup, I pretty much only shoot the night! On occasion, I'll snap a few photos of a sunrise or sunset, but most often I just relax and enjoy while waiting for the stars to come out!

Great panorama! How long were the exposures you were getting with the SkyTracker?
Thanks, Derek! I believe they were about 90 seconds each
Nice! That'll make a great print, more detailed than we can appreciate on a monitor. :)
