m&m

Thought that I would give these two Messier objects a go but boy are they low in the sky for me and travelling through treetops as well as over a neighbours roof. And just to make it a little more difficult a full moon in position as well.
Tried colour with M88 but left it alone with M95 as I figured I would be wasting my time.
10" SCT at fl2500 and 20x5min shots with QSI583.
Just happy to have something with the recent weather.

Not bad under this moon Allan. I got the fs60 set up this week and any shots, even NB, are just a bright blob in the center of field

Two great picies. Love the details in the first one. 2.5m FL is not a small feat. Well done.
