Description

The clouds finally parted after several weeks of poor weather. This was my first uninterrupted all-night imaging session - 6 1/2 hours on the Pencil Nebula and a further hour on the Lagoon Nebula. Using the ASIAir to set up and run a two-image plan, with a meridian flip halfway through, and get up the next morning with all of the images sitting in the USB drive was wonderful.
