He wrote, “Finally a clear night in north Georgia, and the Milky Way was looking great!” By the way, in case you’re wondering about the horizon lights, Scott said there’s a dam below the mountain. Also, on this night, nearby city lights were illuminating some clouds from below. The bright object to the left of the Milky Way is Jupiter, and the fainter object to Jupiter’s left is Saturn. Thank you, Scott! Click here to view more photos Scott took that night.
