Star seeking in South Paris

Tom Hoffelder of Norway lines up his telescope to view Neptune at Twitchell Observatory in South Paris Wednesday night. He is a astronomy buff, along with others who routinely come to the observatory to help during open houses. Students from Maine Connections Academy (MCA), the state’s first virtual public charter school, were on field trip at the observatory. The red streaks at the bottom right are from a flashlight during the 30 second time exposure required to capture this photo.
