Description

This is a return to this wonderful Grand Design Spiral galaxy with my 12" newt now that I've replaced the focuser and have a carbon fiber tube.  I'm thrilled I did!  I also happened to get some of the best seeing I've had in a while.  This is four nights, two on Ha only to deal with the moon and two on LRGB.  The HA was overkill but fun.
