Description

My intention was to image another object, but it was still too low down and far too near to a streetlight anyway. So, I decided at the last minute to image M71. I have never imaged this before, but I am pleased I did, because the Milky Way's mass of stars makes this object so appealing to me. The trick was to try and not let the stars overpower it. The weather has been unfavourable recently, I miss the unusual, good summer weather I had here - but here is 62 minutes' worth - 62 subs at 1 minute each - before the cloud closed in. Thanks.
