Fernbank Observatory's 36 inch Cassegrain

In November of 2009, Kyle Ripley took on the challenge of lighting the interior of the Fernbank Observatory and then getting this shot. This was no easy exercise and it ended up taking more than two hours to get the balance of light needed in such a complicated setting. I was pleased to be there and to have a chance to pose doing what I love to do at Fernbank.
