Description

Galaxy season continues - third light with the 120ED.  Another partially cloudy night, but decided to collect some data anyway and see what we could get.  Threw out about 60% of the data as it got pretty cloudy after a while - but excited for the result and quick post-processing (again following Lukomatico's guide). 

Next time, will try to go heavier on the L - need to take 3 of those for each round vs. just proportional to the RGB data collection.  Still getting used to NINA's advanced sequencer and loops.
