The New Year didn't start off with a great sky, but the break since the last session was long enough for the cobwebs to creep in. All the blowing snow stayed out of the obs to my relief....
Two targets before the clouds shut me down. The Veil Complex and M81/82 with a ASI183MC Pro. The Veil was a 4 panel mosaic with the Optolong Ha filter. Only managed 3 240second exposures. M81/82 was done in LRGB with 3 images per filter. By the time the blue filter was imaging the high thins were getting bad.... the image is cropped to about 20 of the total.
