Description

The weather report looked great for this weekend - and indeed there were no clouds but still the sky was unusually light. I normally have a SQM of 21.2, but now it varied between 20.6 and 20.8. Maybe some diffuse type of northern light. There may also have been some high thin clouds. It all made imaging difficult and this is the best one (close to zenith). ES 5" ED apo on EQ8 and a Canon 60Da 38 x 600" (6.3 hours) at ISO1600.
