Andrew McCarthy(@AJamesMcCarthy):Current view through my 17" telescope. This is a single raw 10 minute exposure. It's monochrome because this is just one of 3 color channels. The color is split up into separate exposures to maximize efficiency and light gathering power! After several hundred of these photos captured over many nights, I'll combine them all and have a stunning, colorful photo to share with you!
