Description

Taken over 2 nights in Star Valley, Wyoming last weekend under Bortle 2 skies at nearly 1900 m (6200 ft) elevation, while having a great star party with extended family.  I've always wanted to go after this target but needed some dark sky time.  One night I used my OSC camera (ASI2600MC, 180 s subs), and the other night I took deeper monochrome data (ASI2600MM, 300 s subs) for better luminance signal, both with no filters.  I love this camera pair!
