Folks, here's a photo I took from Doughton Park in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. I used a Bronica 6cmx4.5cm medium format camera mounted on a Vixen GP-DX. I used Provia 400F with my 75mm lens at f2.8 for 10 min. Even in this dark site the light pollution of nearby North Wilksboro smears the lower part of the photo. The view is the tail of Scopius and Sagittarius. By the way, it's been more than 3 weeks since I've seen a bloody star! I think it has something to do with the gravititional interaction of Mars with Earth's clouds.
