Amazing! Thank you for sharing.

My wife and I are moving from a Bortle 9 (NYC) to a Bortle 3-4 (Upstate) soon and I'm excited to start attempting more DSO imaging. Up to now I've been mostly focused on capturing Jupiter and Saturn which are, honestly, challenging as it is.

Jupiter and Saturn are fun and completely different techniques (eg lucky imaging and de-rotation) compared to DSO (lots and lots of patience.)

I am in a bottle 5-6 zone, right on the edge of a major city.

Lots of us astronomy nerds here!

I also captured galaxy back in 2022: https://www.jeromehollon.com/astro/2022-04-22-m51/

Very cool! The extra context is appreciated - seeing the two galactic neighbors , their proximity and relative sizes. In fact, these articles would be that much more meaningful to me if they included different resolutions and views of the same look direction. Seeing something for the first time at best resolution is great, but seeing it in context helps one better appreciate the achievement of JWST.

This is incredibly cool, thank you!
