I had a few glorious dark (for bortle 5-6) nights and was able to get a lot of nice eagle nebula shots a month or so ago. I’m constantly battling the hippie ‘don’t cut down the few old trees left in this suburb’ part of me with the ‘get your leaves and branches out of my damn shot, I’m trying to capture space’ part
Scientists: Yes, we finally did it! We captured a picture from our probe that touched down on a big rock in space! We are awesome!
Me: Holy shit! That is so cool, you are awesome! What did the rock look like?
Scientists: Like a big fucking rock
Me: Dude, no way!
Don’t forget the endless abyss that was pictured too.
Yeah but we can see the endless abyss by looking up any time there isn’t too much light around
