Wally Pacholka is an amazing photographer marrying spectacular landscapes with starscapes that a city dweller can only dream of. His pictures have made NASA's APOD (Astronomy Photograph of the Day) a remarkable 40 times!

Wally recently reminded me that one of the great annual meteor showers is about due. These events are best seen with friends and without a telescope.
And if you happen to be looking for a Christmas present, high quality prints of his work can be found at AstroPics.
All I can say is keep up the stellar work Wally!
