[Chaos-l] Georgia village for astronomers

[Porter, Ray]

I found this quote in the article interesting:

"The two are amateur astrophotographers who take hundreds of frames with
high-powered cameras attached to telescopes and layer them on a computer
to create images of galaxies 10,000 light years away."

I'm don't think I'm aware of any galaxies 10,000 light years from earth
other than the one we're in? <grin> Oh well, at least we're getting some
public notice.
