I’m imaging again! I’ve set my color filters aside and gone back to what I know works for me. Gone are the frustrations of tri-color imaging. Gone are the worries of finding a guide star through a blue filter. Gone are the endless hours of blood, sweat and tears that go into color imaging – I AM FREE!

The truth of the matter is my observatory is ridden with light pollution. I literally have a parking lot lit in all it’s glory feet from my backyard. Mix that in with city lights, limited clear nights and mediocre skies and it just equals an uphill battle for color imaging.

I’m not saying it can’t be done – I have managed to pull a couple rabbits out of the hat. The return just isn’t worth the effort for me in my current situation. Some day I will return but today I embrace all that is gray.
