Description

This is a lovely pair indeed, shot over the second half of two nights. I was actually getting tired of the several nights of shooting in a row, a rather unusual experience for us!

Acknowledgments
After months of darkness, between 22 February - 5 March 2022, we observed a series of very rare phenomena called "Clear Skies", coincident also with New Moon. We appreciate Mother Nature's collaboration in making this project possible.
