Best night in a long time!

Well last night was one of those rare nights where it all comes together. The weather, equipment, guiding and everything in between.

I intended to stick with just the one target but got carried away with the excellent conditions and ended up starting 4

Usual stuff:

SW Equinox 80 APO, EQ5 Pro Synscan GOTO.

Guiding: SW 9x 50 finder guider and QHY5.

Modded Canon 600D and coma corrector with CLS clip filter.

Using: BYEOS, PHD, DSS, Photoshop CC.
