Description

This was a very challenging image due to the smoke in Oregon and Norther California. I was only able to use about 1/4 of the subs that I took. 

I took 10 nights of data from July 7th to July 17 and then deleted subs that had little signal due to the smoke. 

It turned out better than I expected given the poor conditions.
