Hi all,

I spent last night at Pauls where me Paul and Graeme passed the time looking at the clouds. Paul had used various predictions to decide that we would have a clear night of imaging. It seems his sources were wrong. At around 12pm Graeme made the ultimate sacrifice of packing up to go home, and 5 minutes after he had left the sky opened up revealing the stars. With limited time before moonrise I decided on doing a target that I could do narrowband on.

I managed to get 3 10 minute 2x2 binned colour subs and 4 15 minute luminance before the moon came up and ruined our party.

I then set the scope to do some HA and went and had a nap, after the first sub something went wrong so I could not use it. Attached is the one 20 min HA sub to show its potential.
