The Milky Way Returns to Frosty Drew Observatory

Mid-spring brings the fabulous center of the Milky Way Galaxy back to the skies over Frosty Drew Observatory and will continue to showoff on moonless nights through the summer. I captured this shot of the Milky Way stretching over Frosty Drew Observatory early this morning (May 3, 2017). We've had relentless clouds and rain in Southern New England that seem to hammer the New Moon side of the synodic cycle, though the skies cleared last night. So I waited out the 2:00 a.m. moonset to catch this shot of the Milky Way in Charlestown, RI.
