Description

A wide field view of two deep sky targets from the Connecticut Star Party. This was a REALLY cold and windy night, but Steve Labkoff's AVX mount had no problem keeping a basic camera and lens steady. My unmodified camera kept the California Nebula pretty dim, so I used some data from an earlier photo off our Takahashi to help it pop.
