Description

I finally had a clear night. However there was a fairly bright crescent Moon up that was washing

out a lot of the sky. I was limited as to where I could image. I decided to image M3 because it

was located in the Northeastern sky and not affected as much by the Moon. Also I felt I would

have better luck imaging a bright globular cluster rather than a small dim galaxy because

of the Moon light. I intended on trying to image several objects tonight but before I finished

imaging M3 my equipment was soaking wet and the main objective of my refractor scope was

fogged over. So that pretty much shut me down. With all of that said I was able to get

an image for my efforts. My latest attempt at imaging M3. Please enjoy.
