Description

Took advantage of a brief parting of the clouds close to a new moon and tried again to do a broadband galaxy image from my Bortle 8 location in downtown Calgary, AB.  Certainly doesn't capture the fine details you'd see in less light-polluted skies but I'm relatively pleased with the results.  

Hope to get more data but target is heading into the power lines in my backyard so it'll have to wait until next year.
