It wasn't the best of nights.

The fog rolled in, then thinned a bit, but wouldn't completely dissappear so I captured images anyway. :)

Only one was reasonable, all the others were just faint blurs. :(

Here is the best of the whole night, and it is still fogged. :P

Hi Ken

Still a nice image - well done. Now, send me your secret technique or recipe for imaging through fog!

Cheers

Dennis

Hehehe, I could still make out the smudge in the finderscope, so I just clicked on 'Start'.

25 seconds later the pic above is what appeared as the image :thumbsup: :shrug:

Unfortunately the others didn't come as well (?) as this one.

I will post one of the Sagittarius widefield shots to show you how Yuk the atmosphere was.
