Description

An astrophotography night without technical issues is a matter of fiction for most of us. Though I was at my DARK SIGHT before the sun went down, I wasn't able to image until after midnight. I have a friend however who always says an hour under gold skies is worth 100 in the city and so I was not very disheartened when I managed to come out with 2 hours on M51, a target I've been wanting to image for a very long time.
