Wow, what a pic Ron. But seriously, I think that's you, getting ready to putt. You photoshopped yourself onto a long exposure Milky Way image, as well as the scope. Then, you drew the laser in, like George Lucas did in his films.




Actually, Terry got the shot on the first attempt. Tripod-mount the camera, open the shutter, wave a red light around for illumination, turn the laser on for about 15 seconds, and close the camera shutter after about 30 seconds total exposure. Not bad for a one-shot deal.
