A brand
            new shot of IC4592 taken under superb sky conditions up at our
            high altitude dark site in Happy Jack, Arizona. This is a one
            hour integration with a Baader IR/UV blocker with our RASA 8"
            f/2 and ASI2600MC camera. SQM readings on this night approached
            22, and the sky looked incredible to the naked eye.
