I am back home in Southern UT and finally got some new shots. http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=2442&g2_imageViewsIndex=1 Milky Way Wide Field http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=2445&g2_imageViewsIndex=1 Heart of Cygnus These were taken with a new camera lens that is great for wide field astro work.
