Description

This was the first successful imaging session in the last 6 weeks.  Only a few clear evenings during this period and the cold weather lead to problems with the USB cable (could not download images from the camera).  I finally managed to acquire 2h 15min of subs in my cold (-18C) light polluted sky. I am quite happy with the star field but the reflection nebula is not as strong as I expected (based on similar images on Astrobin).
