Description

I've not posted for awhile. I was getting pretty discouraged by my results. I found some 1:1 instruction and I feel like I'm back on a path of improvement again.

This image was taken from Corrales, NM over several nights in March of 2022. My SQM is 19.5 or so.

Comments and suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks for looking.

Ray
