Description

This was more as a test - i had recently got a Light Pollution filter and wanted to try it out - but also i had managed to get water inside my OTA (my tarpaulin cover was not as waterproof as it claimed). I drained the water out and allowed the condensation to evaporate (thankfully the following day was a scorcher - 38 degs C) - I can't see any obvious signs of watermarks on the images so i am a tad relieved.
