While in Arizona, we wanted to take advantage of the Dark Sky certified areas for night photography. I've never tried this before, but I had so much fun and want to learn more. In this first attempt, it appears that I captured a galaxy. Any expert night photographers that can confirm? It's half way down from the top, closer to the right side.

A photo of the night sky full of millions stars. It's dark and black closer to the top and edges, but the center shows some orange and blue coloring, and so many white spots across the entire image. Halfway down from the top and to the right of the center is a disc-shaped bright spot that might be a galaxy.

@thomasfuchs Seriously? That's amazing! I honestly didn't even know I could pick up a galaxy without specialized equipment.

@moopylonster in really dark skies you can see it with just your eyes! It’s just a sort of fuzzy patch though

@thomasfuchs That is very cool. I'm in the northeast, and we have way too much light pollution. So I'm just going to have to spend more time in Arizona!
