Been time for a while I think, starting in Sagittarius heading north to Cepheus then back down though Perseus to Auriga, lots to image and not enough clear sky to do it.

I only tried a handful of planetary runs this summer with, as expected, very limited success. I had hoped to focus mainly on some summer DSOs, but other family stuff got in the way of that, so really I did very little imaging the past 6 weeks, but did do somebrief visual sessions on The Veil, Crescent, Dumbell, some globs, etc., which was fun. Now the dust has settled I have decided to go straight back to DSOs, so got my first couple of nights back imaging over this weekend. The Moon is now getting out of the way allowing some longer sessions as night darkness lengthens, so I still have a chance to tick of some low southern Messier targets to add to my collection, mostly open clusters and globs.

yes wouldnt be without it,in general what time do you guys start imaging

For the low southern targets I’ve been after I’ve started with astronomical twilight at around 9:30pm, as if I waited until full darkness they’d be too low down this late in the year. I’ve not processed any of them yet, so may find that they all crap...!! I start to cool down the camera around 9:00pm then plate solve the first target to be ready to start the sequence as soon as I think it’s dark enough. Geof
