Description

What do you do if there's full moon? You just don't care and shoot anyways!

At least, that's what I did the last two nights. I collected some LRGB data of M81. I captured that data using my 8" SCT in combination with my fan-cooled mono camera. I didn't use binning and I am quite surprised how detailed the galaxy can be imaged despite the aggressive sampling and the problem of wind, which easily screws up the guiding performance.

Enjoy and clear skies!
