Another clear, but windy night... guiding is running smooth, star eccentricity and fwhm are surprisingly low, considering the current conditions

The Pelican Nebula - IC 5070

Displayed in the Foraxx palette

Imaged during the unprecedented stretch of amazing weather we had in October.

The ALP-T filter has proven to be very versatile with a moon in the sky, as long as you have some separation 🌙

Decent guiding tonight for a mediocre seeing forecast (they got it wrong 😄) 🔭

Gearing up for another clear night!
The NINA sequencer will be quite busy tonight....Ghost of Cassiopeia, 2 panels of The Pleiades, and rounding out the night with 2 panels of rgb stars of the Rosette Nebula 🔭

I love the long winter nights!
