Star Party

Wagman – 8/14/2014 Super Transparent – By Nate Brandt

August 18, 2014 by nbrandt

Thursday night at Wagman was one of the most transparent nights I’ve ever seen at Wagman.  The MW was easily visible and dipping further into the south than usual.  I took a few pictures around the observatory to try and show how nice the view was.

Regards,

Nate Brandt
