Description

Even though the Trifid stays super low on the horizon at 40 degrees north, there is a 2 hour window where its above 25 degrees.  Decided to take advantage of this time to see how well I can capture and process with less than ideal angles on the giant 10" newtonian. At least the transparency and seeing was excellent the two nights I did this!
