Hi all,

I shot this one last night through some haze before the sky became completely cloud covered.

It's pretty low down in the light pollution of my Southern sky but with the short exposures I think it came out ok.

I did not get much time on it so this is only 10 minutes Luminance,5.5 minutes Red,4 minutes Green and 5.5 minutes of Blue.

Taken with a TMB115 at F7 and ST10xme.

Boy I am ready for some good weather patterns!

Thanks for having a look,

Jason

Looks pretty Good Jason! As Richard says not a lot of time is neede for an objetc like this. Color looks great. I think that is what could be impacted the most by dicey conditions.

I hear ya about the weather.
