Description

Some older data shot in Leeds, plus a load I had this weekend in the Lake District under Bortle 3 sky (Thanks Andy and Petra!)

Not the ideal focal length for this sort of target, but the best scope is always the one you have with you and the 100mm F7 isnt exactly portable with the HEQ5 mount -  the 70mm meade in the star  adventurer GTI is perfect for this ad-hoc weekend away.

Moon was pretty full at 80% for the last three of hours shooting, but Graxpert and a filter fixed that to some degree.
