Description

What to do with that telescope time on moonlit nights when your narrowband target sets? Well there are a host of nice clusters up this time of year so I decided to do a little RGB and see what kind of images I could produce in the bright moonlight. With the brighter skies the  backgrounds come out to my eye a little clipped. But the images are recorded and I'm a little farther through the task of capturing all Messier's objects. Some of these are lovely enough to come back and capture when the skies are dark. Thanks for looking.
