Description

Good Day! It's been quite a while since I've posted and way too long since being able to get out and image. I live southeast of Charlotte, NC and this summer has been hot, humid and the nights have been cloudy. I haven't been out since mid-June.Thursday night I went out to shake the rust off of the equipment and my brain. I decided to go after the Eagle Nebula, which I've never imaged. Unfortunately, it isn't in the sky very long these days, so I only had two hours from the time I was ready to go and it was ready to set. I hope you like it.81 Lights at 90 seconds
