Ee-gad it felt so cold last night even though the temperature was only 2 degree lower than the night before (minus 3c feeling more like minus 5c), the condensation was as bad as ever necessitating the use of the "TOH" (trusty ol' hairdrier) at regular intervals. I only managed two objects last night the first being M33 which I gave two and a half hours of varied exp times and iso settings. Personally I think the final image is quite pleasing. The second object was to be NGC4435 and 4438 in Virgo which according to Stellarium is also known as "The Eyes", is two 10.9 mag galaxies.I think they are situated at the bottom of the image shown. What I wasn't expecting was the small field of galaxies that came with it (Please feel free to identify them lol). I would have given this one a lot more time if it had not disappeared behind a tree, I'll try again tonight if the weather holds.
