Description and Details: The Tadpoles!
This was my first attempt at this neat target. Those tadpoles are so strange! I hadn’t really tried it yet because it’s a pretty dim target (I image from my west-facing 2nd floor apartment balcony, so I usually only get a few hours max on a single target each night) but luckily I was able to get enough data over 2 nights to show some of the natural colors and structural details.
