Well, we are back, and quite relaxed. Weather was not on our side this whole week, as winds over 20mph were hitting us at night.
Our tents & mounts were fighting against it, trying to stay put, but our imaging rigs were suffering quite a bit.
Since we were not doing visual work, but imaging, we ended up cutting short most of the nights. I did a bit of visual work one night, after getting quite frustrated by the strong crosswinds, and observed many Deep Sky objects.
I managed to image 4 objects, as all the others were trashed by the wind, haze & clouds.
All the DeepSky shots were taken with the Orion Starshoot I.

Clear skies to all,
