Description

Taken under the Bortle 1 skies of southwest Texas at the Cibolo Creek Ranch. Flawless seeing and immaculate clarity for 4 nights let me collect an incredible quantity of amazing data!

I was able to double my exposure times for each channel from what I use here at home due to the complete lack of excess photons, and still didn't blow out any but the brightest stars!
