Description

While down in Arizona I took the opportunity to shoot this area. I first started imaging the Eagle with my RedCat 51 and after a few subs wondered if I could squeeze the Omega in there. After a brutal trip down (blown tire to the airport, missed flights) I got to Phoenix around 11:30pm. It was clear so I decided not to waste a single night. I set up in a parking lot near the hotel. Literally 2 minutes later 2 cop cars pulled up saying the park was closed. After they saw all I wanted to do was shoot the stars they let me continue. One other night of terrible transparency and the last night I squeezed in the rest.
