The BOM forecast was for a run of sunny days..... but I guess the garden did need the rain.
None the less I did manage a mere hour of 10 minute subs before the clouds rolled in.
It was fun to see those big fat CCD pixels soak up the photons without having to worry about the rapid pixel saturation of my other CMOS imager.
The down side was I only managed to get two exposures in for each channel, hence little or no errant pixel rejection routines could be applied....
but still, M8 is big, bright and brash enough....
I think I got away with it here
