Description

Taken over five nights: Feb 24, 25, 28 , Mar 1 and 2  in Bortle 7 skies.

8" Edge HD with 0.7 reducer

Due to such poor weather over the past few months,  I was desperate to get anything ! Had to deal with full moon nights (2/24 and 2/25) and very bad moonlight the other three nights, combined with very poor seeing. I usually get guiding around 0.4"-0.6", but I was lucky if I could get 1.0" - so a bit blurry even with BlurXTerminator.  This was the best I could do- at least it's something.
