Description

M27 first light at one of Black Hills Astronomical Society's (BHAS) Class 1 dark sky sites outside Rapid City, SD. Quantity of subs were limited due to bad planning on my part for not bringing enough battery power. The good news is that this site is less than an hour's drive from home. The quality of the site was amazing - a 20% detection filter in DSS resulted in >3,800 stars being detected!
