Fantastic work Luke, love that image mate

Hey Luke, seeing you outside brings back memories of your early days, hoping to one day reach 1K subscribers. As wonderful as the observatory has been for you and your videos, I kind of miss watching you lug your rig onto the patio, putting up with the cold, and savoring the night sky. Ah, nostalgia!

Beautiful! Can't believe you can already see your breath in the evening, we were still at 97F today in Texas and 84F at 10:45 pm.

Beautiful image Luke….again ! 😉
Love seeing you out underneath it all ……
I don’t have an observatory …. Yet !….but even if I did, I would still have to hang out under the stars….its my place 😊
As a famous philosopher once said ‘sub specie aeternitatis’ ……’under the gaze of eternity’
Clear skies,
Andy

[alfredterrence]

Greetings Luke, good to see you back again. Glad the nights are starting to get longer.

[paulholdsworth]

That's an unbelievable image Luke !! 👏 Incredible that you've captured that from a bortle 7 sky. Kind of felt like I was watching a video from 3 years ago and where it all started I in back garden, no doubt freezing cold but adds something atmospheric. Great video Luke !

[carvrodrigo]

Yeahhh I’m capturing this target too. First with narrowband and then will blend in broad. Great shot my friend!!!
