Three days of clear skies came my way (high haze counts as clear for me) on my first galaxy season
M51 1hr30
M101. 1hr 20
NGC3718 4hrs
5 min subs
130pds
Canon 5d mark iii
Exos w/onstep
Dirt cheap guide setup
Need more time on m101 and ngc 3718 to get that bg toned down while keeping the details (also both were done with an extremely bright moon so that turned my bortle 3 to a bortle 42 😭)
I am also starting to target NGC 3718 with my Seestar from Bortle 3, and I just decided not to shoot during the 50%+ moon periods
