Hi,

Lots of clouds for me the past couple weeks,I did get some clear skies last night.

I shot M12 in Ophiuchus

LRGB consisting of 120sx14 Lum and 180sx7 RGB.
It's a bit noisy from the short exposure time but I was happy to get a somewhat clear night grin

CCDStack for calibration,alignment,combine and deconvolution on the Lum.CS2 for levels,curves,noise reduction and LRGB combine.
