These two objects are very low on the horizon where I live. Although I drove 2.5 hours all the way down to Lake San Antonio to image this, we're still talking about a N35.5 degrees latitude. Guiding was the worst I've had in a very long time (seeing was pretty bad this low on the horizon), but the short focal length helped here.
So because of all these challenges, basically my goal wasn't so much to take a breathtaking image but mainly being able to say "got it!".
Got it! ;-)
