Description

April has not been kind with clear nights here in the northeastern U.S. I managed to capture this image of the spiral galaxy M88 in Coma Berenices. This LRGB image was taken with my 127mm refractor with the ASI1600mm Pro. It is composed of 78, 180-second images taken through the L filter and 10, 180-second images taken through the R, G and B filters. More time (and better sky conditions) would have been nice, but do not seem to be in the cards this spring.
