Description

More galaxies than you can shake a stick at! This was shot over just 3 nights. I had some really good clear nights lately and the skies really cooperated. Two nights were from the backyard and one night from the River Ridge Observatory where I got some of the best shots.

It seems like on all my shots lately, one half of the image is brighter than the other half. Not sure what is going on with that. You can tell in this image here, the left half is brighter than the right half. Maybe I stretched too far?
