1350 L.Y. distant in the constellation Orion. This was the last time I could set up the rig before 2 atmospheric rivers crashed into Los Angeles. And it was a full moon that night, so the major nebulosity was kinda washed out. Severe cropping was the only solution. That and an Optolong L-Extreme filter to cut out visible light.
Orion usually leaves the night sky by the end of March, and our weather forecast for the rest of the month when there is a new moon is iffy. So this might have been my last opportunity in 2023.
