Description

Dark sky vacation in the White Mountains of Arizona (9 of 16). With trees to the south, east and west, I had a limited view and about a 4 hour window for each target. I made the best of it and I enjoyed my time there. The night sky view was amazing. Stars brighter than I ever thought possible. Definitely going back!

Not gonna lie.. This was one of my most challenging processing jobs to date, and I'm still not 100% happy with it, but at some point (revision S) you just have to call it done...
