Description

Three panels shot (by accident) with a Sony A7iii mirrorless camera under Bortle 1 skies in Big Bend National Park. Each panel only an hour of integration time. I was just capturing as many targets as I could my last night there, and was presently surprised when I got home that I could combine the data from the blue horsehead nebula with rho ophiuci.  (Was working off a tripod and star tracker so my targeting was very precise).
