Got Milky Way? Cows Surprise Skywatcher During Night Sky Photo Shoot

This image of the Milky Way over some friendly cows was taken in New Hampshire on Sept. 11. "In order to get this shot I had to focus stack 2 images, one in order to try to get the cows in focus and another focused at infinity to try to get the Milky Way in the sky," Ippolito added. The Milky Way, our own galaxy containing the solar syatem is a barred spiral galaxy with roughly 400 billion stars.
