M3 Jan 22nd

Too much moon around to do anything other than this object, still quite satisfying though seeing as I haven't been able to get out for what seems like an age. I'll be more than happy when all this rain b**gers off.

Very nice Brian, especially with that Full Moon around, to 'wash out' the sky.

That is a very fine pic. Brian.

A nice compact little glob. is M3, and plenty of wide space around it too.

Perfect stars also.

Do you find the Neodymium filter offers substantial image improvement when used with the 350D?

Cheers
