Description

Final image of 2019, taken through bouts of mist and with quite shoddy transparence. Nevertheless the result was above expectations.

The Skywatcher Startravel 80 was stopped down to 60 mm and the Fringe Killer filter was used together with the UHC one to further reduce chromatic aberration.
