Description

Attempted the Witch Head at the witching hour last night and got a couple of hours exposure before the moon put paid to business. This is a faint target - and certainly needs more exposure with my Esprit 100. Composition tough too - with scattered light from Rigel getting in the way.

A good target to return to and do better next time.
