Description

didn't think I could get this one from my backyard. I have to start imaging at 9:10 (not dark yet) until the tree gets in the way at 10:35pm. I have to point directly at the "Valley", then downtown LA (40 miles) and only up 29 degrees. Two nights about 3 hours using the L-e filter with a OSC cooled camera. Stacked and split the channels in APP, processed in Pix. Color plate is not quite HSO, actually not sure what the heck it is! but I love pretty colors.
