galaxy season 2021

 After a rubbish February with just 10 clear nights, the novelty of new moon and clear skies got the better of those known for their liking of that ultimate art-meets-engineering obsession called astrophotography.

All this on consecutive nights with the gs203. Big 8" mirror for the faintest of the faint.

Big call out to the software guys at the kstars/EKOS project without whom I'd have lost a lot sleep in getting anywhere near this.

all @ ISO800 with the trusty eos700d on a gso203 Newtonian Reflector
