About this image

Set up in Sun lounge and imaged through open doorway.. Luckily I guessed correctly where the pole was. |Set up from 17.20 so was able to check drift before starting to image. Imaging through the open doorway gave protection from the blustery wind and kept the dew at bay. Identified Neptune using Uranometria 2000 and blue colour on image.
