Description

I decided to reprocess some old data from last year for these lovely galaxies, taken with no filters in Bortle 2 skies at high altitude (8500 feet or nearly 2600 meters), as I haven't been able to capture anything new for several months given the stifling heat and monsoons in Arizona this summer.  This was taken while attempting my first Messier marathon with my brother, @Bruce Larsen
The data set is not very long, but I thought it was still worth revisiting.  It was a memorable night.  I'm pleased with the result and hope you enjoy it, too.
