And following the theme...
All single shots, exposures up to 30 s.
The next one is particularly interesting, a double star only about 11 light years from Sol. It is close enough to show parallax and is moving fast enough that in 6 years, the pair will have moved 'one pair width' against the background. So , in six months I shall see if I can image it and measure the parallax!
This is a very short exposure, since any longer ones overexposed the two stars and the double could not be seen.
Not terribly exciting, but the blob in the middle is not a star but is the very compact 'Blinking Nebula' It gets the name since it is best seen using averted vision, when you look at it directly in a telecope it tends to 'disappear'.
