Hi everyone

Just 6 x 5 minute frames before haze stopped play. Oh, and then the moon rose to illuminate the haze. Were it not for a big Newtonian, we'd probably have nothing. Strangely, the seeing and guiding was excellent, but when Arcturus is just about the only star left visible, probably time to surrender. Lovely cluster of galaxies -not the usual nondescript elliptical blobs-, stacked using Siril's magic performing percentile clip and rescued from the mud by StarTools.

All comments, particularly when processing oxygen deprived data such as this, most gratefully received.

From a sad, locked-down Alicante, thanks for looking, clear skies and keep safe.

Nice grouping of galaxies. Pretty good for just 6 frames.
