Description

There are relatively few images on Astrobin of these two objects, and even fewer with deeper exposures highlighting the dense dust in the region.  I took this image over 4 nights under beautiful Bortle 2 skies in central Utah during my annular solar eclipse getaway with @Bruce Larsen and others in my extended family.  I'm quite pleased with the result.
