Description

I finally got a break in the clouds (before the next storm ),  after several failed attempts to image Saturn due to poor seeing,  this is what the night  gave me:  NGC7640 is a faint galaxy of 11.6 magnitude in Andromeda, almost 30 million light years from earth.  I did not expect this result with such a short integration with a planetary camera. So, the night was worthwhile after all. I learned that I can use my planetary camera for small and faint DSO targets.
