Description

819FL @ f/6.3

This series of images was taken while it was raining.  I left these purely unprocessed.

First night of the 2023 Texas Star Party. (also our very first TSP)

The whole upper field had packed up their rigs and turned in at around midnight because of the inbound weather, including myself. 
At around 12:45am I decided to go back out there anyway.  Undeterred by weather, I set up all over again and took these images.
5 DSOs: Ring, Bode's, Knife Edge, Sunflower, and Cat's Eye.  Just 30s subs, varying between maybe 20 to 40 of them per object.
