Taken Thurs morning 4:00-4:30am local time
Last night we had thunderstorms and local flash flooding.
But who cares, I have cabin fever!

You have got in nice and close, like Marc I'm going .... Clear skies WHERE.......
Not here thats for sure. I'm sitting at work watching it rain, there's no letting up here for the foreseeable future, so much so the money I had put aside for astro gear is going on a new ride on mower the grass is going to just keep growing while it's like this and the scope is just gathering dust.
Depressing I know but ive seen a handful of good nights in months and months ( grumble .... Rant)
Keep imaging if you have the chance

Yep I certainly was lucky. It was sprinkling at dawn and thurs
afternoon (last night) had the most awesome thunderheads and anvil
clouds rolling in.
I got another 2 hours imaging in this morning too. 3am-5am
A bit crisper due to better seeing and no moon until about 5am.
Made a mosaic with yesterday's image.
