Description

I reasoned that for my only clear night when there was a full moon, in order to cut down on the effects of its light polluting, I opted for a relatively bright object, but using the RC, so as to get only a FOV of about 1/2 degree - thus restricting the light pollution effect on the object. My idea seems to have worked well, and I got better data than I thought. It is nice to see the dark lanes in the object so well. And I am finally using my repaired 294MM! Thanks everybody and I hope you are ok. Simon
