Thanks guys,
I'm certainly happy to have come away with at least 1 image for the weekend. I've got a few star trails as well but this is all for through the telescope.

42 minutes of data... that's a high percentage of the available imaging time I would suggest!

Thanks Al - given that I used ICNR, it's almost that whole 2 hours used up. The other 20 minutes were framing, focusing and test exposures

The darker skies of Lostock certainly help even though the weather was all over the shop.
Glad you got at least this image.
Well done.
Time to get your camera modded me thix.

Thanks RB - I'd love to get my camera modded but I need it for terrestrial shots. I'd more likely get a modded 20da as my astro camera. But funds aren't available
I'm grateful to Chris (33South) for loaning me his for the night!

A lesson learnt for next time. 
Well done.  |
Thanks Matty - a lesson learned there but it was your first star party so you weren't to know
Don't worry, I've done it myself many times - gone to bed only to find it clears 1/2 an hour later.
