Re: [APML] New Bubble Shot

Steve that's still a pretty good shot!
    I have not been able to capture it as of yet.

Subject: [APML] New Bubble Shot

Here's my latest attempt from last weekend at Cottonwood Springs on my 10" SCT.  I considered us lucky to have any clear skies given the weather over that weekend.  Cleared about 11pm and the wind picked up a few hours later and ruined my M81 shots so this was all I could do.
 
 
The Bubble is fainter than I guessed. Seems like I could've used 2 120 minute shots to get the faint parts.  The image scale would've been better at f11 as well though I question whether my guiding would've been good enough with the wind.
 
Suggestions and comments appreciated.
