NGC 2903

This was imaged under my usual light polluted skies with the added bonus of windy conditions.
The wind is good because it usually improves the seeing, but bad because the scope sometimes thinks it's a sail.

Great detail dan, especially for the wind blowing! It does seem to look a little clipped in the black point. Was this intentional due to imaging in light pollution?

Nice shot Dan. Nice bold color - especially the red and the stars. I like the lesser clipped image better as well - thanks for the rework.
