Description

This is a short integration. Moon was up, and I could only image for about an hour. I may come back and add more subs or move to something else. From my backyard at some point the overhead electricity cables get in the way, and it's next to impossible to continue and get anything decent. Also, this nice triple combo of galaxies starts to get lower in the sky as the evening progresses. The stars are not 100% round, and I think this was caused by poor guiding. It wasn't terrible, but it was not great (did I mention the Moon was up). I am grateful that I can image from the comfort of my home - even under such a lit up sky.
