Thou this trip we were greeted with partial clear skies and clouds and rain, the cosmic were kind to us by offering us "windows" and that was enough for us to take some nice data of the skies above us.

I shall start the ball rolling with my medium rare astrophotography works haha

California Nebula

FSQ85ED + Canon T1i (Badder mod)
GM8 + Miniborg + QHY5

12 x 5mins iso 1600
stacked with DSS processed with CS5

Hi folks, this was from the first night- The Eastern Veil nebula. Really motivated to image this object because I was awestruck when I can see it even from a tiny 60mm refractor during the last trip.

Imaged with FSQ85, Modified Meade DSI III Pro, 1x8min L, 4x8min R, 4x8min G, 5x8min B
