Just 2.5hrs through the FSQ-85EDX and the OSC STF-8300C in gawd-awful light pollution. Even PI struggled this time equalising the gradient out and I ended up doing it manually in PS (perhaps a little too much).
This was as sharp a focus as last nights seeing would allow, possibly mixed with a LITTLE icing (see my Equipment forum post).
Anyway, good enough for me, onto something else. Not much point chasing this little mongrel with the 85mm :)

Bit more colour: https://www.astrobin.com/full/338112/F/
Can't get PS to match the Adobe RGB for web exactly - looks brighter/more colourful in PS than any of the Save for Web settings. Ah well. YOu get the muted point :)
