Description | I've been despairing how to capture a set of Messier targets low in the southern sky. M69 is one of these, never really rising above my treeline. I had decided to travel to the Ashokan Reservoir, which has a very low southern horizon... taking a chance that it wouldn't get wiped out by light pollution close to the horizon. |
