Description

Hubble colour version of the Monkey Head. The data were unusually sharp compared with what I normally get from my city balcony. Must have been exceptional good seeing those nights back in February when the temperature was around -15C. I could easily put together a rather crisp image with very little post processing after the standard calibration routines.
