Description

Talk about a spur-of-the-moment capture! I had no plans to image last night but noticed we had clear skies just as I was about to go to bed. So I quickly set a rig up and programmed my ASIAIR to shoot M20 for as long as conditions prevailed. In the end, I was only able to capture 20 clean 600-second frames, but that seems to have been enough to produce a fairly decent result.
