Description

I shot this over two nights from the Bortle 7 backyard with my FLT132 and FLT91 for luminance and RGB respectively. Given the light pollution and the fact I was fighting with a first quarter moon I was very pleased with this. I was surprised by the color of this galaxy and also the way the spiral arms present. I'd always though it was a bit dull but I have new respect now! I did try a bit of Ha but it didn't add anything to my eye.

Luminance 96 by 300 s ASI 6200 MM
RGB 24 by 300 s each ASI 2600 MM

Clear skies
