Well after a great day out visiting amongst other telescopes the MONS where we have observed before, I setup and waiting for the last night to become dark. The night was truly stunning at 0.7’ seeing, warm and calm. Low humidity was effecting us, else all the other elements were playing ball. I setup and captured the Moon

before heading over to Comet Olbers first.

After this I set a run on the Dragons again so to add to my data from the other night.

Once this was set and the rest of the plan was in place I headed off to bed at 1am and left the setup capturing some additional data on both M30

M30 Globular Cluster

and M11.

I then went on to image M54 which is really small at 1.6 arc minutes.

M54 Globular Cluster

Lastly I grabbed some data on M14 which is a slightly larger globular cluster at 2.6 arc minutes.

In the morning I reviewed the data and unfortunately due to the altitude of some of the objects I did have to reject quite a few frames, however I did capture enough to create a decent image.
