First EAA of 2024 - nebulas galore
There had not been a lot of clear nights since the beginning of the year.
I decided to go out tonight despite a 92% full moon. I started a little bit before 9pm and stopped around 11pm before the moon had risen above the neighbor's house.
I did almost all my imaging with the L-Enhance filter except for a few of galaxies at the end.
I observed mostly nebulas in Orion, Monoceros and Auriga.
