I still had some darness left when M42 became visible over the garage roof on the night of 6th January. Crystal clear and good seeing is rare here along the coast of south-western Norway. I gave the Great Nebula a try with only 93x30secs exporsure before it hit the rooftop. Amazing with th RASA astrograph can record in a short time! Enjoy, comments are welcome!
