Description

These galaxies sit far in the southern sky for me so they don't rise very high above the horizon and don't stay up long. I was able to sneak these 2.9 hours in before the moon rose. But smoke from prairie burns in western KS and OK made the transparency less than desirable. I had hoped to get another 4 hours of data a few days later but the smoke was even worse and the winds picked up. So, that session was a complete bust.
