Description

Canadian wildfire smoke finally cleared here for a bit last week, so I grabbed a few hours of RGB on M20. This is one of my favorite targets - and this is my first real attempt to photograph it (my previous backyard did not have a view of the south). I'm pretty happy with the result - though I'll probably add more integration and some H-alpha as the summer progresses. Overall a decent result for just under three hours in bortle 7 skies.
