    Default Spyder Chasing the Milky Way

    My Spyder RT Limited was put through the TEST this weekend in the Chihuahuan Desert in Big Bend National Park. I was running all over that park, which is bigger than Rhode Island, by the way!

    The RT helped me transport all of my gear to remote locations around the park as the environment changed. This is important to getting good Milky Way shots. Plus, it guided me over 60 miles in the hardest rain I've ever experienced! No two-wheeler would've survived!

    Thanks to BRP for helping me chase down the Milky Way!!

    It's unfortunate that this website requires very small jpg as these are spectacular in higher resolution! But, I understand!

    those are great shots. Is there a website we can go to and see them in a larger more detailed format?

    I have a Flickr page. A lot of my star pictures are in this particular album. You may need to scroll to the most recent pics. Couple of Spyder cameo appearances in them!

    Thank you!!!

    My current photography interest is "landscape astrophotography." I use my Spyder RT to get me around. I can load down so much gear including a 5 foot camera slider. Plus, it makes it easier when I'm out in the pitch black on country roads.

    Absolutely incredible photos. And they make me realize what we're missing when we live in the middle of suburbia and cannot see much of anything in the night sky.
