An image
of the "Big Dipper" area in the
Constellation Ursa Major. Although it
would be very interesting if the greenish-yellow
streaks were the result of some exotic
astronomical event, they are lightning
bugs passing through the field of view.
The image was captured in the summer of
2004 and the lightning bugs were rampant
on that night. The image was captured on
ISO 1600 print film with a wide angle 35mm
lense coupled to a 35mm camera
piggybacked on a 10-inch equatorial
Newtonian.
