Description

Skies around Chicago in the winter are unforgiving, and it has been largely cloudy since before Christmas. On Saturday (Jan. 20), I finally got a few hours of murky, moonlit sky to work with. 

I shot I63, the Ghost of Cassiopeia, for a few hours using a new 3nm L-Ultimate filter. It turned out reasonably well considering. Can't wait for a really clear night--if it ever comes.
