Still alive after 9 months under dust covers

[Placidus]

With the deep La Nina, we've not tried any astrophotography for 9 months.

We ejected 4 huge huntsmen and one dinner-plate sized golden orb weaver, and fired up the scope under full moon.

H-alpha 20 x 5 mins. Even at 5 mins, the homunculus is burned out, but you can see the beautiful Herbig-Haro jets (arrowed).

Big one here
