Very nice job, Tim. Was this from Arunah Hill?

The sky up here on Mt. Desert Island is wonderful. It's by far the darkest site I've seen outside of the SD desert.

Bar Harbor and Sabago lake are perfect observing sites. As a matter of fact when you guys are at Arunah hill I will be observing at Bar Harbor. My sister has invited me many times to go observe at her house in ME and I am taking full advantage of it.

Which filters did you use with your ASI 1600? You were able to capture some nice coloration.

You did a really nice job of capturing the wispy structure of the Witch's broom.

How long were your subs?
