Hi A warm welcome to SGL. Learn and Enjoy

Don't get your head in a tizz. This is just a theory, developed by humans with 1 point of reference in a vast universe. Like most other theories it will crash and burn, in time.

My first DSO taken at the Spring Galloway Starcamp 27/02/2019. 60 x 60sec exp, ISO 800, Canon 1100d, SW ED80 DS Pro

Arrived home at 3:45 today, after another excellent Galloway Star camp. Saturday night was stunning. Thanks to Mike, Leslie and Ralf for putting this together, and to the other attendees who make the event what it is. Can't wait for February for the next installment.
