Description

I finally got a clear night, but would you Adam and Eve it, there was a very bright moon - this always happens! Anyway, it gave me chance to try and take an image and bearing in mind the moon's brightness and the fact that about 40 subs were pretty poor because of the area of sky I was imaging in, I am pleased with this result. It was 130 subs at 2 minutes long each - 4 hours and 20 minutes. Thanks everyone...
