Description

The culmination of 2022's galaxy season for me. These galaxies are only visible for about 2 - 2.5 hours from my driveway, so it took me 7 sessions between March and May to get enough integration time in conjunction with other projects. I had to shoot towards my town's light dome and close to the horizon, which led to some tough gradients and made it difficult to pull out the colors. 

Time to say goodbye to Virgo and galaxies for now!
