Description

Shot on the 6th and 9th of March, 2021. Inspired to shoot this after my widefield shot of the nebula along with the Mars – Pleiades Conjunction earlier in the week. I was pleasantly surprised at how relatively easy it was to locate and shoot. All newbies like myself should put this on their list to shoot. Pretty happy with my first attempt.

This is just over two hour and ten minutes of imaging from my front yard. Bortles 5-6. Should’ve been another ten minutes if not for a rookie mistake: left my Bahtinov mask on for 3 test shots and the first 3 shots of my first run.
