Otwell Library

This was taken at the Otwell Library. Our local library has provided a table for us to display our astrophotographs. This is our latest picture of the Andromeda Galaxy. Next to the picture is a newspaper article from the Press Dispatch when in January we went to KSC to witness a satellite launch of the TDRS communications satellite. The ladies at the library presented the article alongside our astronomy photo.
