Only two inches of aperture.  It's just amazing what can be done with amateur astronomy these days !

Indeed.  Good time to be in astronomy unless of course you are looking for new gear lol

 

Looks like I'm pretty local to you, been photographing the falls and agriculture historic areas for a long time.
Some of my first Astro evenings many years ago were at the Silverfalls camp grounds.  Been just south of the capitol since forever.
Let me know if any star parties set up.

Clear Skies !!
