JANUARY 17TH - LAST QUARTER, JUST !!

[paulastro]

Alarm on at 5.30 am. 

Set up in observatory by 5.48 am.

Grabbed some photos 5.48 am to 5.55 am.

Fitted binoviewer 5.56 am.

5.57 am, hurriedly shut observatory roof at commencement of near (unexpected)  torrential rain.

7.05 am, rain stopped and I hurriedly carried equipment back indoors.

Just a typical West Yorkshire observing session in fact 😄.

Very nice!

I just had a wander round your first image at full res. It's got great detail and contrast. So much in there!
