It was taken by Flickr user Herman Hernandez, and it’s brilliant. Read his description, too. I’ve done similar things to get a good astro shot!

Any other Arthur fans out there?

I’ve always suspected this but kept it to myself for fear of ridicule.

Great shot! wonder if it’d be greater with a longer lens… Thanks for the idea; I needed a kick-start for a new project.

You wouldn’t get Frank up in one of those, he would rather fly.
