Virgo Cluster 26/27 March 2012

            Managed to drag myself out over the last couple of nights. We've had several clear skies on the trot, but I've been too knackered. Very clear last night, and I wasn't intending to stay up until stupid a.m., but felt I had no choice :)

This is just over 2 hours in 60 second chunks, and is an improvement on last years effort, albeit a tad blotchy in places. May give this another go when I get the time.

200p/EQ5 unguided

126 x 60 seconds
