To finish off the evening I had fun taking a few short subs and checking out a few galaxies that were transiting after midnight, deciding on my next target.

A most enjoyable night and great to be back under the stars for real (and enjoyed the Maca's at 1.30am on my way home )

New Moon should see a return to my favourite...galaxies!

Great to see you back up and Running Mike.
