January is not entirely over, but with no clear skies in sight, I though I'd post a few targets I've enjoyed acquiring through Live Stack in Sharpcap. All frames saved individually and post processed in Pixinsight and Photoshop.

Excellent, Minos. Glad we connected on Astrobin. All you need now is a pair of shades to wear to block the LP or spend a lot of $$$$$$$$$$ like I did and build an observatory on the roof of your house. ;)

haha that's funny!

I don't own the place I'm currently at (property here in NY is, quite astronomically priced), but we are moving to a new, slightly darker location in a few months, so things should improve.

Good advise regarding shades! an observatory is on the list...someday..

Glad we connected too :)
