Description

Had one night at Lassen National Park with clear skies and took and hour of this galaxy, "Despite its size and actual brightness, its location in dusty areas near the galactic equator makes it difficult to observe, leading to the nickname "The Hidden Galaxy""

I'm impressed with what imaging you can get in dark skies with new moon and only one hour! I'm also impressed with my little 102GT refractor. (a 9.25 HD edge is on my wish list!)
