Description

This is my first galaxy in a long time, and its a 3-fer 1!  I am having a tough time getting some of the wonderful colors I see here on astrobin but this is only 2 hours of time on target and its hard to be disappointed considering that. First truly clear night in a long time without too much moon. I threw in the towel when it was time for a manual flip...in hindsight I wish I had flipped it and let it run all night.  I really need to figure out how to adjust the limits on the mount to be flip-friendly with the ASIAIR, but when its tracking well I take images rather than tinker.  Maybe kicking-the-can isn't the best strategy!
