Description

I went out to a dark site to get some data on the Crescent Nebula. When I was setting up I found that I had forgotten my laptop which runs everything. I alway carry an Asiair for backup and I had my Sony A7R3 so I went with that. I had never gone for this target before and I was surprised how intense the star field was and how dim the nebula was by comparison. It worked out okay. I got about three and a half hours of exposure it was interesting to post process.
