Astrophotography with friends: My 10' dome observatory (center) between a friend’s roll-off roof<br />

If you’ve been looking for a way to expand your photographic horizons and if you enjoy capturing images of spectacular objects,<br />
astrophotography may be a new interest for you. You can do it alone or add a wonderful social element to the activity by doing it with<br />
friends. Either way, the images that are possible are beautiful and limited only by your interest. ■<br />
