Description

We're entering spring which means I'm quickly running out of narrowband targets, so I my made my first attempt at an LRGB image under my heavily light polluted skies in SW London.

Left the scope running over night on the first evening to capture 5.5 hours of luminance, and then managed 45 mins for each of the colour channels on the following evening (25th and 26th of Feb). Conditions were decent for the L data but transparency was very poor for the RGB.

Very happy with how this has turned out; never thought I'd be getting images like this from within London, especially not broadband! Looks like I can keep busy over the spring when the weather allows
