Milky Way in Mississippi Using my Polarie

As I wait patiently for my Advanced VX Celestron mount to get back from repair (grrrrrrrr!) my husband, Carl, bought me an early 50th birthday present ~ the Polarie by Vixen.  It is indeed easy to use and lots of fun!

We're away in Mississippi right now, looking forward to seeing a few Perseids tonight.  Last night I took these of the Milky Way ~ 30 second exposure @ ISO 12800.  No star trails?

There's a couple of yard lights nearby ~ check out light reflecting from the tree in the last shot.... Hah!

Here's to clear beautiful skies! :-)
