100th Day of 2015

 We are now one hundred days into 2015! And I have spend the past 156 days on ice!
One of my friends found some old photo paper and dark room supplies on the berms and brought it inside. We made pin hole cameras and I have taken two exposures so far.
This is the first one. Took about 4.5 hours and some editing to get this. This is the view out of my window, not too bad for my first try!
This one is the moon and the telescopes, taken over about 3 hours. The wire across the middle unfortunately got in the way but you can still make out the flag line out to the dark sector. The exposure time is basically a guessing game because the light is so dim and the ISO of the paper is so low and its getting darker everyday. I also lost count of the new stars that have appeared!
