Finally we got a night without clouds.
We new the moon would be up during the first part of the night so we took the opportunity to fotograph it. Shooting the moon is something we don´t usually care much about, and it is mostly just a annoying disturbance in the sky. This night however for the first time we made a serious try. Sadly the result was quite poor due to lines in the picture, and we realised to late this was a result of using to high gain in the software. This is going to be a learning to the next occasion.
We got a couple of deep sky pictures after the moon had gone down, but the IC59 & IC63 nebulae turned out to be very faint and hard to catch in detail despite long exposures.
