Image Details:
For sometime now I have been praying for a clear and still night so I could try out my S85. On January 21, 2003  I finally got it. On this cloudless night, transparency was poor and the temp was around 0 degrees but I needed to get out and do some observing. Here are some of the better images I captured.
