Description

Surprised with a few clear, or at least almost clear nights, with temperatures down to -25°C the telescopes were put to work a few hours each night .
The long, cold winter night is never so clear as the autumn and late winter nights as there is always som thin, high clouds that will block some light, but better with some imaging than none. 
The Askar  FRA 400 with camera, controller and mount did the job just perfect in the cold, and delivered some good photons to work on.
I did a crop and star reduction on Version A but I liked the result better with no crop and with no star reduction.
I did not  manage to find the perfect framing but it is good enough for me, and maybe I will visit the Rice hat and SH2-223 later
Hope you like  the image
