Description

yes, galaxy season...not my favorite time of year, living in Bortle 9 Phoenix...and focal length of 840mm. But there are a few keepers, and I did head to darker skies for a few days to capture this pair, after getting the H alpha here in the city.  You can see a 35 sec video of the trip here: https://youtu.be/8fF8J5YLTW0
