About this image

In Bortle 2 no need for light-pollution or narrowband filter, just UV-IR filter to reduce bloatness of stars. Shorter exposures and all-night clear sky every day meant I could image many more targets than under the merciless clouds of Manchester.

Fantastic image Mazin! And still no sign of McNeil's nebula.
