The night of 2017 September 21-22 was a memorable one.
We had light rain up to 23:00hrs Thursday. But as predicted. The skies cleared shortly before local midnight. The skies were crystal clear. I estimate the NELM was near +5.6 or possibly 6?

It was so good. I stayed up ALL night. At 04:50 the day of the Equinox. I noticed the belt of Orion was now clear of the tree line. So I sent the AA 115EDT CCD combo to go and get B33's Ancient light.
What a pleasure seeing the Horse Head in the middle of September. And in mild weather too. On my computer screen.
I need more exposure time than 40 min. Twilight was fast approaching and I was beginning to feel fatigued. So made do with this.
