Description

My family and I traveled to central Vermont to observe the recent solar eclipse in totality. We stayed at a nice AirBnB, and I had brought this setup thinking I might get a clear night or two that weekend prior the eclipse. I got a few clear hours, but unfortunately our spot was surrounded by tall trees, giving me a limited patch of sky to work with. This galaxy, a member of the M81 group, happened to be passing through that patch 

This target is admittedly forgettable at this focal length, but being able to observe totality the next day... I think I'll always remember that!
