Finally tried out the Poseidon-C color camera during a rare hour of clear January sky. The Optolong L-enhance helped, since the scope was pointed south over the Toronto skyglow. I toned down the highlights enough to show the Trapezium cluster. A brooding swirl of angry nebulosity? #Astrophotography
