Description

This is my first attempt at this object. It has been on my list since the beginning but a dark site is needed to properly capture this object. This past weekend, I took a camping trip to the Spruce Knob Mountain in West Virginia. This is the highest mountain in West Virginia at 4,862 feet. It also has Bortle 2 skies!! It was a new moon, but I had no expectations and was just hoping the weather would cooperate. And it did! I was able to get 8 hours between two nights on this target. I am very happy with how everything turned out. It was also my first time out using my eq6r pro set up powered by a battery. It all worked flawlessly!  Thanks for looking! hope you like my version!
