Description

All from a bortle 5 over a couple nights with a waxing gibbous, ~50-70%. I shot an hour each RGB filter, but I think the photo could use more color data. Some of the fainter galaxies lack good color. Sorta weird time of the year for my backyard, targets are limited and the sky has no nebulae This is a cool target, but I wouldnt recommend this target unless you are willing to put at  LEAST 10 hours total integration time... lots of faint fuzzies. I had over 14 hours of lum data, but stacked the best with a FWHM under 4. Seeing was below average, as normal for my location
