Description

November 19, 2023, a night worthy of a knight, the second night this year without clouds until the rise of the morning star Venus. No wind, good transparency, but sadly, the air mass was turbulent. Messier objects captured obviously without a coma corrector. Usually you capture one object per night gathering as much data as possible, but nobody knows when or whether a night like this will come again.

Rather than uploading and describing the images separately, and to avoid you the stress of liking, I put them together on a single poster (10k pixel wide 16:9) with annotations. The original PNG is over 50MB large, about twice the hard disk size of my first IBM PC running Windows 2. If you know what I am talking about, welcome to Oldie AP.

Be good and take care!
