Description

From my recent vacation to SW New Mexico beside the Gila National Forest, where I was able to get to see some of the darkest skies I have seen a very long time. This is using a ZWO camera and DLSR Lens. I really can't get this from my home in Illinois as it gets blocked from my house. Being in the mountains made a big difference. This is a beautiful but faint reflection nebula in Scorpius with the smaller IC 4601 in the center made up to the 2 smaller stars.
