Description

Traveled to dark skies in Arizona with the new moon. Amazing heavens indeed!

I captured one night around Flagstaf at 6700' and another at Lake Powell. I love the wide field of my 102GT (focal length 703mm), but had to post a crop to show some details of this cool galaxy. There are so many galaxies in the image...amazing! There appears to be some dust around some of the stars, not sure what's up with those. Overall, I'm pleased with this small refractor, but certainly would like more focal length some day.
