One of the many telescopes at the Etscorn Observatory on the campus of New Mexico Tech. This image was created by rotating the dome with the slit open with the red light on inside the dome.

At first the dome looks almost like you put a snow globe in front of your camera and then used a red light to highlight it. The sky is terrific! A very pretty shot.
There are always some great shots in a free study but this is just completely outstanding. Beautiful colours and a wonderful other
world-y feel to it. I guess I can understand why some people prefer different shots (though for me this was top 10 minimum) what I cant understand is how this 'only' scored 6.4436, because if that isnt a 7 then I dont know what is.
You gotta love the sky. I'm not sure why but I really like the photo. I can't think of anything to improve it or that is wrong. Sorry not much of a help but maybe a 9 will do? Good luck to ya - just keep your feet planted on the ground!
You have achieved my official stamp of TooCoolness! I can't wait to see details. This may be one of the first times that I've chosen a fave while voting!
