[LVAS] February Observer's Challenge

[Fred Rayworth]

Dave,

 

Wow! A great shot.

 

I saw a concentrated center with just a hint of lumpiness. You really brougt out the arms. That was a bad part of the sky that night (at least until 10PM when I left). Could see the stars well enough but when I looked through the eyepiece, there was quite a skyglow despite being on the opposite horizon as Las Vegas. 

 

Glad to add it to our challenge. Thanks!

 

Fred
