Description

The Witch Seeking Guidance from Rigel

IC2118 The Witch Head Nebula 🧙

On the way across the Nullarbor, I was hoping for clear skies but was rewarded with clouds all the way across. Only the last night (in Balladonia Bortle 1) did the skies clear enough to take shots. There was still wispy high cloud which is evident in the shots.

I found it very hard to control the halo in Rigel. Maybe the high cloud had something to do with it.
