Description

Captured during the last night of astro season for me. As from tomorrow, it doesn't get dark enough where I live, so the gear will go into summer storage. As a last, fun project, I pointed my scope at M87 to see if I could capture its jet.

And in order to increase contrast, I used a red filter in front of the camera.

I will also post an image with insert for easier viewing.
