Description

Being only 23 degrees above the horizon (Max) and over the only major city in my area made this a tough target. I decided to image from 1am to 3am taking 30X2min subs before and after the meridian flip. Using the light pollution filter helped. Very happy to finally image M45 after a few years of trying. Love my RASA8
