Here friend and fellow JSCAS member Dennis Webb is hard at work pouring over maps and sky charts, using his telescope and ccd camera to image Arp Peculiar Galaxies.
In the background, facing Southwest, you can see the star trails. The camera was set to wide open and focus set at infinity. In order to have Dennis better in focus, I should have stopped down alot.
Check out Dennis' book on the Arp Peculiar Galaxies.

@ram: Thanks, that was real focus :-)
again good shot my friend. why did everything in below of you picture became red?

@kaveh: Thanks Kaveh, the red is from red lights :-) Using red lights instead of white keeps your eyes dialated (iris open) and wont cause long film exposures to fog.
