    Spent a couple days at the beach and was trying to attempt a night photo catching Haystack Rock along with the stars. Haven?t had much opportunity to practice and the sky was clear so, go for it. I had to cut off some of the sky due to roof overhead was in the way but it was an OK attempt for me. More practicing to follow.
