Description

Took a trip down to dark sky area (Class 1) in New Mexico over Thanksgiving break. Tons of fun having perfectly dark skies with a new moon and experimenting with LRGB, which I never get to do in Denver. Only problem is seeing was poor (excellent transparency) all nights I was there. 

Is the core blown out? Yes. Is there a massive halo from the blue filter? Yes. Are the stars horrendous after processing? Yes. Still pretty happy with this shot, super fun to collect data on such a bright object. Especially since I am used to shooting narrowband with a slow (7.5) refractor.
