| Comments: |
Combined images taken over two nights. The skies were soft for a good bit of the luminance but the transparancy was pretty good and I took them on my West side which is the darkest. I didn't get but 3 blue frames before the weather turned bad, so I wasn't sure how the blue would hold up. I always wanted a better image of M108 than the first one I took and this one didn't come out too bad. |
