Brilliant image Raymo
Nice colours , full of depth and detail
Im champing at the bit to get my new 8” f5 up and running tonight but CFN has the jetstream in Sydney tonight at 100kt with 32kmhr wind at 9.00pm
So just a test night tonight to get the mount working , PA , star align and focus etc. Maybe some short subs on something?
You have a feast of great images !!!!

Yes there’s intermittent light showers at the moment in Sydney’s south where I am
Checked Weather Zone and my app Cloud Free Night and both satellite and radar have this low pressure front moving away in a northeasterly direction from Sydney very quickly. This afternoon will be sunny breaks and tonight clear with 0% cloud but 32km/hr wind and jetstream running at 100kt ( very high )
So I’m setting up this arvo
Cloud Free Night app has been very accurate so far since I’ve been using it since December
Sydney is “on” tonight !!
Enjoy !!

I hope you are right Martin for tonight.
Suggestions.
Take some short exposures of just stars to check coma as this way if you find ovals you wont wonder if its maybe polar alignment.
Most important have a tarp ready to go☺
Good luck and if you have a spare moment give us a running account.
