| Date/Location Notes |
12,15 December 2017 - Las Cruces, NM This image is LRGB and was imaged over 2 nights. I purposely left out narrowband H-alpha (Ha) for this session as Ha will wash out the blue reflection region to the lower left, and I wanted to preserve more of the inner details without blending. |
