Description

Messier 1 isn't considered a difficult target, but in Seattle it is elusive. The weather generally conspires against it, to the point that this is the first time in 4 years that we've gotten a break when it was in good position. Even then, thick fog ruined or cut short several nights.

Colors were more challenging than I expected. This is a fairly straightforward HOS combination with RGB stars.
