Description

I was fortunate to have a few hours of clear skies on the last day of February 2019 in Marathon, TX, a small town 70 miles north of Big Bend National Park with a Bortle 2 sky. I made this shot with my Tamron 150-600 mm G2 lens on a Canon 5DSr which was mounted on a Fornax LighTrack II, unguided. The lens was set at 256mm and the effective aperture was f/5.6.
