Managed to just beat the fog/cloud that often tends to roll in around 10pm. This is a stack of 5, 6 minute exposures Pentax K50 / Flurostar 120mm on AZEQ6 guided by PHD2/Z61/ASI120mm. https://astrob.in/5qaasy/0/ Just cannot get my head around the distances involved - 8 minutes at light speed to get to the sun, but these would take 37ish Million years to get to at that speed. The fact we can see them at all is mind boggling.
