First time posting on here so hopefully this is the correct format!

Mt. Shuksan Reflection; This area near Mt. Baker Washington may be known for the world record in snowfall (almost 100 feet) but thankfully it thaws out and puts on an impressive show during the summer months as well. A big thanks to my beautiful and VERY patient girlfriend who joined me for her very first view of the Milky Way. She probably thinks I'm crazy for venturing out into the night with camera equipment in hand but now she got to experience why it's worth it. Enjoy!

LDN 673

Post by MikeWiles » Sat Sep 28, 2013 4:32 pm

I've been working on this one since June. The Arizona monsoon season interrupted my efforts and it's only recently that I've been able to get back to it and finish. Because of it's resemblance to the Kool Aid man from the TV commercials of childhood...I've nicknamed this nebula "The Kool Aid Man nebula". Comments and criticisms appreciated. It's sure good to be imaging again. Enjoy!!
