Description

Quite a lot went wrong on this observation evening... 
To the actual target object in the north with narrowband filter we had no free view. So we decided for the near zenith Bode Galaxy. With bortle 5 and full moon the L-Pro is of little help. After a while the dew cap slipped down unnoticed by us and dew settled on the lens.

Nevertheless - or exactly because of it - with the remaining 2.5 hours exposure time a pretty picture came out, in which now once the light pollution itself is set in scene. But why not, because that is also part of astrophotography!

Clear skies, Miriam
