Like me, you probably live in an area that has too much light pollution. ;(

Looks like a thin section with garnet crystals.

Is that the thing that’s coming to shut off the lights and put a munching on us?

Join a club; take a course; what I learned is you need ,a 15- to 20-inch truss-tube Dobson-mounted Newtonian, with lots of accessories; a laptop if you want to take pictures. Look up clubs in your area. They are *fun* people. Not as *fun* as shooters, b/c most of them are tree huggers [make sure you don't mention politics]. Most are willing to share info willingly.

How come my back yard sky never looks like this!!!!!!

I was lucky enough to see some of it - as he noted the main problem is the light pollution around humanity.

Out on deck of an aircraft carrier under lights-out in the middle of the Pacific, and you can really see the star glow shadows.

I’d also expect that his exposure rate is greater than what your eyes can handle.

Even in the desert in Iraq I never saw the sky look like that.

There are some that say there is no God.

To that, I say BS. One look at that and how can they deny His existence?

Amen to that. Also to think *we* are the only critters out there, seems equally speculative as well.
