Description

This is an attempt to rescue the last session. With wonderful weather but no time to do astrophotography I was happy to get one more night. I picked NGC 2903 because of its rather high surface brightness and altitude. Unfortunately everything that could have gone wrong went wrong. I spent over a hour with troubleshooting streaky stars, had to collimate again and lost many images thanks to a tree. I wanted to avoid that, but I could not build up my gear into the driveway thanks to people arriving hours later than planned and last but not least a cable got stuck letting my mount scream like hell at the meridian flip... And I had to get up early  the next day. So I got not even an hour of integration :-(
