About this image

Yes I know this is a little out of focus! I waited in torrential rain and then about ten minutes before I took this short series of FITS filts it stopped and I could see a misty Moon through thinner cloud. I lined up and took some test images as a FITS video stream while I adjusted focus. Light rain was already falling again and before I could take a completely focused image I lost it to cloud and then heavy rain before I could park my scpe and close my observatory roof. So as this is my only result from getting my kit wet I thought the least I could do was post it!
