Description

Aka NGC 5457 is located un Ursa Major about 21 mly from us. Clear skies have been few and a lot of overtime at work has limited my opportunities to get out. This was over the Aurora weekend with poor seeing but, I did get to configure and use my newer laptop. So while it's not my best result it was a wonderful weekend doing what I really enjoy.
