Description

I have been trying to get an image of this area that I liked for the last two years.  The area is so large that my FSQ106...first with an ASI2600, then even with an ASI6200 just took too many mosaic panels for me to effectively image it.  But this year I was able to add the 645 .72 reducer, and that really helped.  Now it only took 3 panels.  This area is so beautiful, the color combination is unique.
