@Bill Richards was kind enough to invite me to join him at the dark sky site for the San Diego Astronomy group, it's located a good bit East of San Diego, and south, almost on the border with Mexico.

I am happy I got 2 different DSO's imaged that night. I had some issues a week earlier in Joshua Tree with my gear, so I wanted to test that. But along with the testing I added some human errors into the mix.... So it made for a fun and interesting night. I had to keep on my toes all night. But I did get some time on SH2-132, the Lions Head nebula. so that was really awesome.

Thanks Mike. It's one of my favorites to image, though for some reason it doesn't always pop to my mind like say the Trifid does.
