Description

I dusted off the RC8 and trained it on the first galaxy of the season. This was shot entirely in Bortle 8-9 skies from my backyard. My LRGB subs were pretty abysmal looking, but I was able to get enough of them to amount to something. I used the Ha data to help bring out the starburst region. It's still pretty difficult getting out to my favorite dark sites these days, so I try to make do with what I got. Anyway, hope you like it.
