In this video I continue my story and prepare my newly acquired van for darker skies. During the process I decided to face my fear of solo astrophotography travel. I go on my first adventure to experience my first bortle 3 location. A very ancient canyon that was formed around 10 million years ago! This would also be the darkest sky I would see at this point. Not only that I would try to pull some data from a very faint deep space nebula. None other than SH2-129 otherwise known as the flying bat and squid nebula which is notorious for faint O3. Thanks to my subscribers and thank you for 2700 subs! I am a tiny channel and I appreciate you all for following my journey in astrophotography.
