Description

After only 1 hour so patches of clear sky  over the last 6 months i which I have tried to get the new reducer flattener working on the espirit....   Three nights of clear sky and good seeing

I decided to go all in ,  so used the time on one target while the moon was still down

Abell 85 is faint so I didn't expect much - but things worked better than I thought, guiding was good and clouds for the most part stayed away.

Abell originally included this beauty in his catalogue of planetary nebulae, but it has since been shown to be a supernova remnant...
