It's not often that we amateurs get to make an astronomical discovery.
Here's my story:
I drive home along the New Jersey side of the Hudson River each night, with one of the more spectacular views around (also what causes me some severe light gradients in my backyard not too far away!). The other evening I had to pull over to capture this "reflection nebula." Mind you, there are those New Yorkers who, cosmologically speaking,
claim this spot to be the precise center of the universe!
Camera: Samsung (my cell phone)
Exposures: 1 x very, very fast
Mount: My unsteady left arm
Processing: There wasn't a filter I tried that seemed to improve this one
I hope you enjoy,
Larry
