Description

Well, the rain continues here, and it has been like this for 3 months now. It is unprecedented even for England. The other week there was a break in the drear, and I did manage to image a few objects, this being the first of them. I took 87 subs of this at 5 minutes long each, thus the integration time was 7 hours 15 minutes, all at ISO 1000 through my Nikon D800 and my 3" triplet. I was hoping to be able to image again this Tuesday coming, but the weather which looked promising for that day, seems to be bad once more. It is rain from now until then anyway. To give people an idea how bad it is, the front leg on my mount sank 6 inches into the grass when I put it there recently, and at present there is a flood 3" deep in a section of the garden. At least I am safe, unlike so many other poor, poor people...
