I don’t usually orient images in portrait, but thought this one worked better this way. I was only planning on imaging the Statue of Liberty before realising that I could fit the Southern Tadpoles as well, hence the portrait orientation to fit both. My night got cut off by clouds so I only got just less than 3 hours.
