Thor's Helmet

I've been taking pictures of nebulae in the night sky for a while now. It's not easy, but the challenges are what make astrophotography so rewarding.

 

Sometimes, life gets in the way of this hobby. Spending a night in the backyard on a weekday isn't always practical, and I have to make sacrifices.

 

However, the rewards of this effort (I believe) far outweigh the pain.
