Hi all. I managed to get a little imaging time on IC5068 last night. I collected 20x20 minutes, but all but 8 frames were ruined by high clouds that rolled in after I went to bed. DANG!! I hate when that happens! :bawling: It was also a very unsteady atmosphere last night.

I like this area of the sky for the geometric appearance that resembles a woven fabric.

At any rate, here is a reduced version and here:

is a clickable full version.

Comments and/or suggestions are always welcome.
Cheers,
Tyler
