| Description | My first observation of a star party at Lake Taghkanic State Park. This is somewhat darker than my back yard... close to Bortle 3 compared to Bortle 4. It was a particularly transparent night with good seeing. I was using a wide-field setup, but the clarity was such that the details of the Pillars of Creation are very evident. This just lept onto the sensor with almost no integration time. Lovely. |
