Description

When I first saw an image of The Dragons I was hooked to Astrophotography! I wanted to shoot this object so bad however it's in the Southern Hemisphere. One day maybe I can take my rig down south and enjoy the Dragons in person. Since I can't have the Dragons today I gladly tip my hat off to Deep Sky West which is based in New Mexico and Chile where this image was shot. Since I too am from New Mexico I figure why not take some amazing free data and apply my own spin on it? Please do enjoy!
