Description

I had an itch to scratch and this is the itch when scratched. Pandemic and all the rest put paid of my dream of finally going down south again with a long lens and a camera and to this "Heart of Sagittarius" shot once more and see how much things have improved over the years (me, not the nebulae!). So I had to do it vicariously and way further south then in my plan. Still, I won't complain too much but I wish the good folks at Chilescope will one day put a bit more focal length at mine's and everyone's disposal. Something like a Nikkor 300 AFS-ED. One can but hope...
