Description

When judging the quality of this photo, please keep a few things in mind. Where I live it's only up for about two hours, it never goes a full seven degrees over the horizon, and I hauled all my equipment out into the field and my guide system refused to work, limiting me to 45-second subs.  But anyway, here it is. I've wanted to try this for a long time, even though I know there's only just so much you can expect from a target that sits this close to the horizon. On the positive side, sky conditions were good and I was in a Bortle 2 location.
