A nice clear sky last night but the seeing was deteriorating by the time I had a chance to observe. Took loads of videos which are being processed slowly .... here's a few of the first ones.

Equipment, William Optics FLT 110 fluorite triplet refractor on HEQ5 Pro mount. AE 4x Imagemate, W29 (deep red) filter, Imaging Source DMK41 camera. 1600 frame AVIs shot. Stacked in Avistack v1.81, 25% frame acceptance.
