At Last

[valleyman]

Finally got some clear sky last night for the first time in what seems weeks.

Rushed out with the gear and managed to get 15x120sec lights of M42 (the old favourite). No darks so used some from the Cupboard, Camera was dithered and cooled to -10c. Clouds started to drift in by 22:30hrs so wrapped it up for the night.

At least it gave my enthusiasm a kick in the right direction.

Quite often a diagonal shot on this one gets the running man in as well, keep the interest going, well done.
