The Perfect Sky (6 photos)

The Night Sky in September - North Pipestone Bay

The Seven Sisters

The Pleiades, one of the most famous star clusters, viewable with the naked eye even in urban cities. This target was rising in the East later into the night

Famous Andromeda

While looking up on the moonless night, my eye immediately drew to this object, viewable with my naked eye in this perfect dark sky sanctuary. So I aimed my telescope at it and gathered 37 minutes of data!

North America & Pelican Nebula

Taken while it was moving over the campsite, between the perfect opening in the trees

Startrails over Alton Lake

25 minutes star movement

Setting Milkyway

During the early fall, the SE has a nice view of the setting Milkyway core
