My tracking mount ate dirt at 2am in the yard, and the 45 minutes I spent fixing it gave me my best shot of the Milky Way yet | Astronomy Photos - SMM Buzz
That sucks about the mount going down on you, but man, what a save. Sometimes the best frames come out of pure chaos like that, when you are too tired to overthink it and just point and shoot. Glad you stuck with it instead of packing up.
