Not a picturesque scene, but still kind of cool and unique to Alaska. The ceremonial start of the Iditarod, later this morning in Anchor Town. Go Dallas Seavey!

I took that on my way into work this morning. I get off at 6:30, so I won't be watching it. I've lived here 30 years and I've worked every ceremonial start, so I've never seen one. I have seen the real start up in Willow a half a dozen times or so though.

Been messing around with the Meopta 15s and my iPhone camera. Makes me want to get into a true astro photography setup but I’d rather not be broke.

Zoom in on the one with all the stars. Focused in on a very dark spot in the sky to the naked eye, and then I lengthened the exposure as much as the iPhone camera would let me. Very dense cluster of Milky Way stars came through.
