Description

I couldn't make it to the dark sky site last night :-(

Had a go to see what I could get from some galaxies from my back garden which is very much in the light pollution red zone. I did manage to get something out of the evening but nothing spectacular.

A real pain to process to anything like presentable due to the wonky colour balance from the UHC-E filter. Correct it in Paint Shop Pro or similar and it looks even more iffy.

13x 240s subs at 400ISO

At least the mount seemed to behave itself, good guiding despite poor seeing. Comet 67P is in this field of view close to HIP55262 but not visible as far as I can tell other than a possible brighter than average pixel... Not something I'd bet money on.
