We had planned for this night quite a while. And for once all turn out to be just perfect! A clear night sky and no moon 🙂 Me and Jakob went out as early as 7 pm and didn´t go back in until around 5 am. This turned out to be maybe the longest night we´ve ever experienced (or short… depending on how you choose to look at things ;-)) We had as much as three cameras shooting the sky at once. Despite the intense dew forming on the equipment the heaters managed to get the optics free and the result was a number beautiful of wide-field images, galaxies and nebulas! I wonder however how many more of these nights our astro computer will survive 😉
