Description

Hi everyone,

I'm sharing a slightly different project with you today, as this one was photographed by my friend Greg Turgeon last summer with his remote setup in Chile.

This target is special because it's probably the one that made me want to get into astrophotography, and I'm really pleased to have been able to take advantage of such equipment under one of the purest skies in the world.
The version I'm presenting here is an LRGB version - hence the natural purplish tint that I particularly like.

Thanks again for the chance Greg and I can't wait for our next project!
Incidentally, this project is a small nod to others that will arrive very soon I hope.
