The latest photos from the observatory:


Left to right: The Seven Sisters (Pleiades) taken through severe light pollution from the federal prison. I expect to get better detail when they are higher in the sky (early morning or later this year). - The constellation Delphinus (The Dolphin), upper right side of picture. One of Mrs. Reverend's favorite constellations. A little hard to make out from the rest of the rich star field. - The north-eastern Milky Way. Another severely light polluted picture from the prison lights. Cassiopeia top center, Andromeda Galaxy top right (smallish smudge), The Double Cluster in the center.
