There's nothing like the feeling of being ONE with Nature...

I love everything that has to do with Astronomy, being just plain observing without a scope, observing with binos or my scopes, and also planetary and DSO imaging... they all have their pros and cons and we must find our HAPPY SPOT in order to enjoy this beautiful hobby...

But it is certain that there's nothing like being out there, in the middle of nowhere, with beautiful starry dark skies and the sounds of nature around you.
There's an INNER PEACE feeling that is hard to describe, but I'm sure many of you have felt it when out there...

Clear skies to all! 8)

Jim, sometimes I look at your pictures and completely forget that they are all captured with a Toucam... simply amazing!
Makes me wonder WHY you would need to upgrade, being that this one is working so nice... (if you ever plan on selling it, let me know... wink

)

Take goop care, and thanks for sharing! 8)
