Description

Bode's Nebula, Cigar Galaxy, Garland Galaxy and NGC 2976 in the bottom right hand corner

We are having a wonderful period of high pressure in the UK at the moment, perfect conditions apart from a bit windy

On Sunday night when for Bode's Nebula ... I tried using my 8" RC ... another disaster. Because I have tried collimating it the collimation is now terrible plus I have developed terrible Dec backlash in Atlas mount , along with the wind ... stars like horrible eggs , even with my new 60mm guide scope so gave up

Last night was going to use my 8" Astrograph ... but was a bit windy so went for the Redcat 51

Everything worked well, 3 hours integration

So four galaxies in one!
