About this image

By the time I had set the telescope up the cloud started rolling in. I set out to try and image JWST but cloud was covering the whole of Orion and Monoceros and everything in the sky north of that. The area below Sirius was clear for a while I got 20-20sec subs of M41 and that was it. Try again next time!
