Description

Bode's Galaxy and The Cigar Galaxy with a bit of faint IFN in the background.

Actually started this capture back in January 2023, then resumed in February, March, and April of 2024. We tend to get more fog in my area this time of the year, and having back-to-back nights is rare. I'm also working on an H-alpha capture to be able to eventually post a HaRGB version.
