Description

The third clear night in a row. This doesn't happen!

I was trying to shoot a mosaic of the North America and Pelican nebulas, but my ASIair was having a bad night and was doing all sorts of nonsense. So in the end I opted for a single frame on something I'd not shot before...the Pacman Nebula.
