Description

First night out the backyard in about 6 months due to incessant cloud and rain.
180x45 s L
60x45 s each of RGB

The second night was badly affected by wind gusts. I have no obsevatory, only the mount in the backyard. I went out for the evening and when I arrived home the laptop table had been upturned by wind gusts and I found the laptop upside down on the grass like a teepee! To my great surprise every thing was still running well so I carefully put everything back the way it should be and went to bed. As can be seen from the full definition view, there was adverse effect on the stars by the wind but hey! I got an image (the first in around 6 months), GO AWAY El NINIA !!!
