Hi
Despite the moon being almost full and in the sky all night I just had to make the most of the clear sky so I thought I would do a reshoot of M3 which I tried last year, this was taken with the FSQ106Ed and H9 with 16x5 minutes each for RGB and 6x5 minutes for Luminance (ran out of time), had to use gradient xterminator to reduce the light pollution gradient from the moon and artificial lights. The previous image can be seen on the star clusters page of the image gallery on my website http://www.imagingtheheavens.co.uk (http://www.imagingtheheavens.co.uk/)
Thanks for looking
Best wishes
