Thanks Steve,
I appreciate your kind words.
I am grateful to the members of our local group for helping me find this dark site. Lack of city to the north opens up that part of the sky.

Thanks maceemiller! I really appreciate your kind words. Neowise is one of the easier DSOs to image (25 second exposure at f4.9), but one of the most exhausting to wait for. :)
