    Aside from your photos, which I love, I'm just so taken with the southern view of the Milky Way. Here in the northern Hemisphere it is oriented so differently.

    Hey there Richard! Hope you're doing well!
    I got such a pleasant surprise today when a 2021 Nightscape calendar showed up on my doorstep and I wanted to give you a huge thanks for sending it!
    Funny story, I honestly wasn't expecting you to ship it because I never actually paid for it! I filled out and submitted the order form, but I have never sent money to another country so I got overwhelmed and decided to come back and figure it out at a later date. Sure enough, you are awesome and sent me one anyway! Thanks a million. I have sent money to your account via Western Union and it should reach you within 4 days. I'll check the status in a few days to make sure it goes through.
    Thanks again! You are awesome and I look forward to your next videos as always! Maybe once this covid BS is over I can travel down there and learn from you in person! Would be a dream come true.

    Great tips in your video, thank you. I just got into night photography and started using low light to illuminate the foreground. I just did a railroad terminal on a mountain pass here in Colorado.. Although I had the light on lowest power setting and a warm color setting, it still was a tad too bright but fixable in post processing. The t-shirt or light dish rag tip should do the trick. Thanks again.

Your videos have inspired me to get out lots over the summer. Thank you so much.
