Description

I am pleased to have got a break in the weather for three hours last night, and whilst ideally I would have liked to have used my RC for the Virgo triplet, the wind was just a little too strong. That scope acts like a sail in even moderate winds. I hoped therefore by using the Rasa, which copes with such conditions better, and by getting enough data, that I would be able to crop it in accordingly, and get something close to what the RC would have got. I am pleased with this image. Thanks everybody. Simon
