Description

M104 over two nights as it is a target fairly low on the horizon here and pops up from behind a house before disappearing behind an oak tree after a few hours!

Fairly hard to resolve much detail at 650mm especially with the amount of atmosphere in the way, the CLS filter helped out with some of the glow from a nearby airport.

Framing was a bit weird now I look at it, I hoped to crop and rotate it a bit more but that left a bit of a small overalll composition to the image so I left it where the stack produced the nicest overall result.

Could have done with a bit more exposure time but the combination of limited capture time and intermittent cloud left it where it is.

I will likely revisit and get some more integration time very soon.
