Description

Imaged from my location in the mountains of Colorado (39 degrees north latitude, elevation about 2560 meters). This was about 2.5 hours of 2-minute subs. I can only catch this target for a few hours a night since it's low in the sky to the south. I plan to capture additional subs as soon as conditions allow. The result after just 2.5 hours was still quite noisy and I applied significant noise reduction to get this image.
