We haven't done any imaging for about 6 months, so it's nice to be back into the hobby we love so much.
We hoped to capture 3 hours on M20 but due to cloud cover only managed just over 1 1/2 hours.

Image taken with Canon 40D unmodded and Celestron 9.25 with 6.3 FR

6 months if far too long to not do something you love, welcome back.

Lovely M20 to celebrate your return, just a shame those pesky clouds had to cut things short.
