Sorry to hear your night was crook. It was beautifully clear here, but hot as. I got 2 hours of data straight without a cloud. The colour is still rather bland, must be the CLS filter. My house is surrounded by those yellow / orange sodium lights so it's not so dark here, except to the NE.

So here's a re-shoot from last night. 25 x 5 minute subs all manually guided. This time I used the ED80 so there's little in the way of CA. The heat though, I was sweating the whole time and I really think it's impacting on the camera's ability to record faint detail. Deep sky at 30 degrees is for the birds.
