Description

We had two consecutive nights of clear skies, and after spending one of them on the Lagoon Nebula, I wanted to try something new. I switched over to the Eagle Nebula just to see how it would turn out. I tried a mixture of 1 and 3 minute exposures, though I don't think it mattered in the end. The clouds started to roll in though, ending my session a little earlier than I originally wanted. I'm excited to get out and shoot a bit more on this, though I am really happy with how it looks right now!

Description: Took a trip out to Shenandoah National Park and had access to some of the darkest skies I've seen in quite some time! Added about an hours worth of 10 min exposures
