Wow! What a night.

What a beauty that was. Worth the wait and then some.
Hope you all managed to get some of it.
I did a side-by-side with the 127 and a QHY8 on one and an 80mm and another QHY8 on the other with a UHC-S filter on it. That was fun.
I did a few hours on NGC6559 and you'll see the difference - the widefield actually picks up the bottom of M8 as well. But have a look at the area between Antares and RhoOphiuchus.
I haven't subtracted any flats yet (I forgot to take some) so I'll do that tomorrow but for now, overlook the dust motes and cop the colours.
I hope this clear cold weather holds for a few more days.
