Quick Eta

Hi All

Last night was the first relatively calm night here for weeks so I set up on my temporary slab observatory and did a quick shoot ( 30 mins ) of Eta before moonrise and windshift.
We had terrible smoke blanket the valley from bushfires in the Perth area during the day and I suspect there was still some in the air last night .... there certainly is today as I post this. Anyway I hope you like it ... could have done with at least another 30 mins but the wind started to blow and I had no protection without my obs



5x360sec exp @ -7 degrees ( warm night )
