Took this while hoping the viewing conditions would clear enough for me to to get back to imaging fainter PGC objects.

Not spectacular but good for the poor conditions - thick smoke from nearby fires and thin cloud coming in at the end. The only thing worse would have been a complete cloud out.

I've had to push the processing more than I would have liked to get some detail out of it, giving it an unfortunate 'processed look'.
