Awesome! You're in Plymouth, right? How is it with all the city lights and stuff? I'm in Ramsey and it's pretty dark in my neighborhood.

Plymouth isn't bad but I have a little window between the house and trees. I'm looking to buying a house I hope this year and I would like to get a nice yard that's open and out west more. I work out in Buffalo which would be nice to find a place out there.

I still have a lot to learn on Astrophotography so its going to be awhile before my first successful picture. :)

Buffalo is nice. Can still get cable and DSL, but quiet and rural enough to get a nice view of the stars. I really like where our new place is at too. No gunplay, no break-ins.. It's nice. :)

Make sure you get some nice comet shots this year! Seems that there's plenty of opportunity. :)
