In this episode 2 of the series. I share an unexpected turn of events that occurred while preparing for our astro adventures this spring and summer. While building up my 500x, my SUV was involved in an accident that resulted in a total loss. I share the events to lead to the point in life I am at now. I faced a tough decision about whether to get another car and to continue this adventure series. It seemed to be doomed before it started. Despite this setback, I decided to refocus on my passion for astrophotography and set out to capture M94, a distant galaxy, using my Carbonstar 150. This project, which I started last year, helped me realize what is truly important. Thanks to my subscribers and thank you for 3400 subs!
