Description

After my lousy performance with M33, I was hoping to do better with M27. With M33 the sky was clear but guiding was lowest drawer, vice-versa with M27, meaning that something can be done about guiding but not about clouds. After discarding about 50% I kept 14 lights, half of them were candidates for the dust bin (not astro bin) though. Anyway, seasons are changing quickly and you need to be content with what you have achieved or ran into the ground.

As usual, no filter, no calibration.

Since a 'devastating' typhoon is passing nearby you will be spared further images for at least a week.
I only hope that the people in Taiwan and Eastern China will get through the storm unharmed.
