Hi all,
Back from backpacking so now I can get back to "play". I guess this one is mostly finished (for now), but I did find another hour of L on a different night that I haven't decided if it is worth going back to add. Lots of nights and telescope configurations, but total ~6 hours of data here. Details and a higher resolution version are here :

I thought about increasing contrast and saturation on the final version, but didn't want the "cartoon" effect to show up on half the monitors. Comments on that would be most appreciated.
Thanks for looking.
Charlie
