Description

As summer approaches, it will be more challenging to go to the desert for better sky conditions than what I have at home. Recently, the weather has been cloudy and hazy, but I had the opportunity to capture images of a target on a clear night, which was one of the best in a long time for this location. The sky was so clear that I could see the heart of the Milky Way with my naked eyes, even though I was in a Bortle 5.5 zone. To capture the target, I used my Rokinon 135mm with the Svbony UVIR cut only filter and the IMX571c Toupcam/Rising cam. Although I encountered power management issues and had trouble with my Windows PC on location, I managed to obtain 4 hours and 45 minutes of data, resulting in my best broadband capture to date. Despite the setbacks, I'm pleased with the outcome and hope you enjoy the image.

Until next time, clear skies!
