Description

This is my annual M45 photo. My goal was to get at least 4 hours of data, but it didn’t quite work out.  At about 2 hours and 15 minutes everything was dripping with due. Since dew is almost never a problem here it the Utah desert I wasn’t prepared for it. I don’t even own a dew heater. I still got some decent data and it was a beautiful night at my favorite dark place.

The latest version is the result of a bunch of help from James Peirce. He has some great post processing skills.
