The weekend before last I already had the telescope set up after some planetary imaging on the Friday night so I decided to do some deep-sky on the Saturday night. The weather had other plans and the wind really started gusting. The Mak-newt is a decent sized beast and does a reasonable impression of a sail. To try and get something usable I decided on only 30 second subs and I still threw away about 40% of them. It then proceeded to cloud over so I had to accept what I had.
Anyway despite the conditions and Bortle 7 Sydney skies I still ended up with something.
