Description

M51 from my backyard pier. Sky pollution at Bortle scale 6/7 with the addition of a bit of haze. The haze changed to fog towards the end so I could not get any Lum subs. Probably overdid the processing again, just can’t stop when I should. Guiding was great, best all year. Had problems with my flats being a bit dark. All comments welcome.
