Description

First cloud-free night in over 3 weeks, even if the seeing was rather poor (5-6arcsec). Managed to squeeze in 2 hours integration on the Saegull nebula between twilight and the last quarter moon becoming too problematic.

My suspicion that the sky looked rather bright (but the Kp index was low) was confirmed by the lack of depth (at least in the Ha nebula) after two hours. However, this was more than made up for by the surprising amount of colour in the stars. I had expected a study in red and white, but I got something a little more colourful.

Weird. I probably got carried away with the saturation as a result.
