Here's another image taken from Tiger Mountain on Saturday (March 12), under mag 6.0 skies. I actually had to cut this sequence short, and only ended up with six exposures, but the dark skies really helped mitigate the loss of time.

I appreciate all comments! Thanks.

Love the wide-field shot, as it gives a sense of space and location...
Great detail!

Thanks Don! wink
