Description

Every year the same procedure, something like "I would like to test this item" or "Just a short exposure for the beginning", on Messier 8. Every time the exposure time is short and the result looks okay, but not amazing. Maybe next year?

This year there were two problems: First tthe camera got frozen every time I cooled it below zero. After three attempts, there was no more ice on the sensor glass. Second, there was a lot of dust on the sensor, I don't know were it was hidden before, but the long travel revealed it.
