Tonight I thought I might take a couple of hours of Dumbell nebula. All was looking good and clear. Everything was working well. Started with 12 X 10 minute exposures and took a look at the clock. Sitting in the lounge looking around the forum and having a chat with AlexN on my chat room I thought time to check hw far I had gone through the imaging run. Checked my watch again , must be almost at the last image so I went out to take a look and start off some 15 min exposures but it was decidedly dark. Bloody cloud and lots of it. I checked each individual image and found I had six usable subs. So here it is one hour of Dumbell nebula.

Scope: Vixen VC200L at f9
