257/366

We are spending the weekend in central New Hampshire (going to do some hiking). It is really dark in the middle of the woods, especially with all the lights of the house turned off, which gave me the opportunity to try my hand at astrophotography. Here is my first attempt at shooting the milky way. It won't hold up to serious pixel peeping, but I am pretty taken with it for what it is.
