Dec 14th - transparency not too good with some drifting cloud, but the seeing was pretty steady. Unfortunately I won't be able to use my CPC 1100 for at least 4 weeks as I can't lift it with my broken wrist, so I decided to see what I coud do with my William Optics FLT 110.
There is a large mosaic "in production" but I also obtained some high res closeups of some of my favourite areas.
