Well it is the season for this rather spectacular galaxy and I have been battling weather, working nights and being a bit crook trying to get some data for over a month now. Some great shots of it poping up.
Finaly some data but pretty average seeing on Sunday night, some very high cloud, would have loved to have done this Saturday night as the sky was tha blackest I've seen in months but I was as crook as a dog with hay fever.
Anyway early stages only got just under thirty minutes of 220 sec subs and the camera bat went flat, by then the weather had deteriorated anyway, more cloud.
No flats or darks at this point.
