Some Early December Images

These images were acquired in the increasingly sprawling and light polluted city of Frederick, MD. The Whittier neighborhood borders a red and white zone which called for 15 to 20s subframes. Each target was imaged for 180 subframes for cumulative exposure times between 45 and 60min. Equipment: Celestron 8/AVX Mount, Starizona Night Owl with Light Pollution Filter, ZWO ASI294MC Pro.
