Missing Astronomy

Having grown up in Eastern Oregon I took the clear nights and dark skies for granted. Now that I'm nearing a decade of living in Portland, with its clouds and light pollution, I find myself missing the ability to step out the back door and see the universe. 

That got me reminiscing about my beginner-level attempts at astrophotography and had a fun time going through old photos. Here are some of my favorites from EO and a few from recent years.
