Hi Jim;

Very nice shot. I like those blue white faintly glowing clouds.

The weather here has been bad with ice fog, snow, clouds and
temperatures of -8 to -30°C. I've had one mediocre night and managed
to image NGC 891 and then captured Luma for M81. I'm hoping the sky
will clear up before the moon gets too bright later this week.

And everyone have a great, safe christmas and a happy new year.
