Description

Trial of getting stuff on Astrobin, and this was the only JPG I had so not pretty (way too cropped, full image much nicer). Taken over 5 nights as the target scooted between the trees surrounding the garden, over the town, skimming the hot rooftops. Challenging but very pleased with the uncropped result for a target I thought impossible from my location. Crop shows 'lateral diffraction' in the stars that is inherent in Newts I believe? Would love to get rid of it, but not at the cost of an OTA costing 10x the £.
