Crescent Nebula and some rubbish stars...

[Sterrenland]

I was soooooooo fed up with more cloud the past week that the hint of a possibility of some clear sky motivated me to get set up last night. Have been hoping to try the Crescent Nebula again - last time was last year with my DSLR.

Despite the odd bank of cloud drifting over it was reasonably 'clear', but I think the seeing wasn't very good...coupled with me possibly knocking the polar alignment. Guiding took ages to settle down between dithering and the numbers on the door weren't brilliant and the smaller stars definitely weren't round!

Anyway, managed to get about 2 hours of subs and managed this. First time I spent some extra time cleaning up masks in Photoshop and am reasonably pleased with the result - just don't look at the stars!
