After a but of a tumultuous start to 2016, I decided it was time to get the wife and I back into a bit of photography. After a series of very rash decisions in the expensive camera store, we became the proud new parents of a Canon 5D MkIII, and a Sigma 24mm prime lens. Between the wife's portraits she enjoys shooting, and my landscapes, I decided I would branch out a bit myself, and point the lens a bit further up than usual. This is one result:

Not Nat. Geo. quality of course...but a fun new hobby. Just right of center, and down from the top of frame approx. 20%, you can just make out the faint green glow of comet 252P/LINEAR to the right of the arc of the Milky Way. This was about 5 AM, and the glow to the right is Salt Lake's city center just on the other side of the hill.
