Description

Three hours integration from Bortle 2 near the "Antennas Site" out west of Phoenix in November 2023. My first time at a truly dark site. Amazing what gear can do away from the city!

This was supposed to be the base of a longer project working on collecting tons of Ha capture (there's a very faint amount of it in this area), but it proved way too faint for the weather I started to have after Thanksgiving in Arizona (thanks, El Niño), and now we're at the beginning of Galaxy Season, so I'm letting go of this project for the year. 

Fun first try on M45, though!
