Details:
Shot in the gap (valley) of Cave Creek Canyon using a Seestar S30, 2 5-minute exposures made up of 30 10-second subs each during "Gale Force" winds up to 48mph. Trailing of the comet's head can be seen here, about 2 1/2 minutes would be ideal to eliminate trailing but I wanted to capture the galaxy as well.
