Description

Attended the annual Starfest party at Mount Forest, Ontario

From looking at Atila's 36" Scope on a comet, to enjoying the Perseids meteor shower this was one of my most enjoyable Starfest parties ever!

So fun to be imaging in RGB again after so long. Had to play with some gain settings as this is fairly new territory. The skies were very dark and decided to go with unity gain for the RGB as anything below seemed to need long exposures.

My first of two target goals, I started each evening with M20 as it's up for only a short time.

Thanks for viewing!
