Thanks Steve. Hope you get to do some imaging from Chiefland. It's usually well worth the trip to get out to dark skies.

Nice job from Cedar Key. Crazy amount of stars. I am hoping to image from Chiefland Astronomy Village on a new moon weekend in February with my kids. Another great image Mike!

Thanks Philip. It is amazing how many stars show up for objects like this that are in the Milky Way plane. This was from a very dark site which seems to help with star colors (along with using some serious color saturation in photoshop).
