I love seeing those claws, and I love the wide view with both nebulae. Wow, 10-minute exposures. That’s impressive. Big strong mount and some excellent polar alignment!

Gorgeous! Strong mount indeed, and great guiding! And light pollution and crappy air (a new AP term for the New Normal) dealt with!! Have our famous CA fires all moved north?
