Comments:  This is a reshoot of M15. The original film image was from 2001. The night was frustrating in a couple of ways. The first was trying to get all of the equipment to work. The second was the high, thin clouds that were constantly moving in and out. I had to shoot in the holes between clouds, thus limiting the number of shots that could be made.
