Description
2 very unforgiving Spring galaxy seasons, 2 telescopes, and 2 different cameras made this image possible. Not as deep as I had hoped to go, but it is what it is. I started shooting this region in the Spring of 2023 and wound up hopelessly short on hours because it was not clear and moon-free enough. Fast forward to this Spring and alas, more of the same. I moved forward with what I currently have and made the best of it.
