I also thought it was a great night despite the dew formation. My apologies if my headlights disturbed anyone when leaving just after midnight. I didn't expect dew on the inside of the windscreen and couldn't see where I was going. I also had a first go in the field with an Ioptron skytracker driving an old DSLR. I couldn't polar align properly due to lack of familiarity with the southern pole and possibly a fogged polarscope. Inspired by John's pic, this is a 2min exposure of a similar region to his snap. It was taken as an afterthought when my other lenses dewed up. Despite its limitations (tracking, focussing etc) I think there is a flame and maybe a bit of something where the pony is meant to be. Something to work on next time.
