Description

Difficult to believe that I've never taken full SHO data on the Eagle before - even more remiss than the Omega as it's way easier from the mid-30s latitudes I lived at a few years ago. It's pretty low in the murk towards the South at 54 degrees North but nothing ventured....

It's now 8 very late nights in a row and managed to get decent time on the Eagle after the Omega Nebula. The nights aren't long enough to get 10hrs plus so it's short of Oiii and Sii but saved by luminance layer from the Ha. The lack of astronomical darkness and a big moon putting its oar in limits the signal-to-noise in the data so I didn't drizzle.

I should really get a decent night sleep but conditions like this in the UK for an extended period aren't exactly common! Normal service to be resumed in a couple of days apparently.....
