5 day old Moon

The atmosphere was fairly unsettled and the cloud and fog had already started to intrude, so not the sharpest images ever, by a long way. The mount behaved itself though, after the previous nights problems, so the recalibration worked. The tracking was really good and plate solving kicked in really fast.

First , the Moon (based on about 7 images, each of 500 exposures, 100 ISO, 1/5 s, stacked in Registax):

The main target I really wanted to have a go at was a galaxy that I had imaged once before, in 2016, NGC 2403 in Camelopardalis. This is the 2016 image:

Unfortunately, with everything working perfectly, the clouds rolled in, so all O managed last night was:

NGC 2403 , barely any data, 2019

This is what 2 exposures looks like! Work in progress, methinks.
