Description

Finally a clear night coincided with a weekend! Seeing was around 3.75", so not the best, but there was no wind, bugs, cold, or dew so I'll take it. First all-nighter for the season and I was able to point toward some dark skies over Lake Michigan and capture the Fireworks and the supernova that everyone's excited about. This has got to be one of my best galaxy images taken with this setup to date!
