It was more than luck.
I have been interested in the Moravian cameras but there seem to be no distributors here in the USA.
Kind regards,
Glenn

Hey Glen,
OPT is a US distributor of Moravian cameras.
Thanks, Bill, I didn’t realize that. On the Moravian web site, only Deep Space Products is listed as a US distributor, and when I contacted Ed, he said he no longer carried that brand.

Fantastic shot Leo! Pragelato must be quite a dark site for that dust to start showing in 5 min frames
