Description

We had a couple of nights of no clouds, no wind, and good overall conditions but unfortunately during quarter moon and with a lot of Canadian smoke in the air.  Not wanting to let a couple of rare clear nights go to waste I set up the scope in the backyard and settled on M92 which is at a prime location in the sky right after dark and visible all night not blocked by trees or neighbor houses.  I kept the exposures shorter than usual to keep the skyglow down and preserve as much of the star colors as possible.   I haven't been much of a cluster imager before but I gotta say I am very happy with the results and am interested in learning more about it, specially how to get more color and how I can resolve the smaller stars in the clusters.
