Description

We've had storms, storms, and more storms in northern California ... but last night was clear with high clouds (I had to throw out more than half my data - but at least I'm imaging again!). So this is only 2 hours of LRGB exposures of M104, taken through my 12" LX200R scope with an STL-11000M camera and AO-L adaptive optics. Optec TCF-S focuser and Pyxis rotator were used. Automated imaging with CCDAutoPilot at Sierra Skies Observatory last night (March 29).
