I've been goofing around with this for two weeks when the clouds allow. Some shots were through high, thin clouds and there are complex gradients but I'll work on it some more if I get color frames.

AP155 f/7 and SBIG ST-10 with Astrodon filters.

Thanks everyone for your comments. I appreciate it. The long term forecast is clouds for seven to ten days. I have to keep myself from getting interested in another object before I get my color frames. M104 is rising to the occasion, so to speak smile

Thanks again - Cal
