yah I could tell it was going to be clear after the storm went through, I tried to take some storm shots with Orion in view as well (like Mick), i'll download them off the camera tonight to see if they turned out. Of course though, the biggest and brightest lightening flashed in the clouds 2 seconds AFTER the camera finished capturing and started taking the dark frame.
I got up at 1am for some Saturn imaging, sky was nice and clear, saw 1 geminid (sad, I know
), would've been a nice night for the geminids, but for imaging the seeing was pretty bad.
Thanks for your report though Ving, sounds like you had a great night. I'm looking forward to Saturn being a night-time object again too!
