Description

My intention was to expand this as a mosaic to capture more of the region, but the weather and equipment conspired to shut down that plan. Nonetheless, what a lovely region to image and the fact that I am "not finished" will "call" me to return again one day.

Happy New Year!

PS, Equipment issues getting resolved as I finally discover how to collimate the CDK20 properly. Planewave sending me a new baffle to see if I can eliminate some reflections from bright stars that lie just outside the sensor (I hid a reflection in this image). Anxious to make those changes but no clear skied here in Arizona until Jan 4th.
