Description

This image was pretty much a practice run to play with dark dust while waiting on my primary target (the Rosette Nebula) to rise higher in the sky. I know that this target needs more data and ideally, a bit more aperture than my trusty little Zenithstar 61 can offer. Interesting learning opportunity but most important, it's sure nice to have clear skies again after prolonged cloud cover.
