Couldn't believe my eyes it was warm, dark and clear outside. At the same time.

Rusty but I still know how to run the observatory software.... so I added a bit of color data to my M82.

Spectacular details, Mike! You need more color saturation/exposures, but what DSO doesn't? grin

Nice shot. This is the object I was working on before the snow set it. One of these days (weeks?) I'll get to add to it.
