I departed at midnight, defeated by the heavy dew but I did manage a few snaps despite the constant use of a hairdryer. Very impressed with the Polarie's tracking ability. This was a five minute exposure at effectively 160mm.

Look forward to seeing Arthurs's group photo. Any chance of putting a link to the picky so we can download the photo?
Nice shot John.
I was trying to look at the Flame nebula last night but no success, the bright Alnitak just drowns it out.
Your polar alignement was also pretty good to get the stars so sharp.

And thanks for the midnight Snack!
