Description

Let's unwrap 2024 with some clear skies in London!

I've dusted the rig and made sure my guide scope is in focus, battery is intact and charged, dec backlash still there 🙈 and got ready for imaging. Two nights of clear skies waited for me after a long break in taking images.

This is an interacting group of galaxies M51, Whirlpool Galaxy M51a and its companion NGC5195, as well as a number of galaxies to the bottom left of the frame.

Glad to be back.

Best wishes,
Konstantin.
