Well, I needn’t have worried about the clouds. On the West side of the island I had six clear nights out of six (Dan had seven but I was down on the coast that night under the inversion layer!). Six solid nights of getting to bed at 3 & 4 in the morning, getting up at 9 and wandering up volcanoes. At least I got the odd nap during the afternoons.
All of this didn’t leave any time for image processing or blogging so I have a fair backlog to get through. I’ve started with the image I first posted on the Breckland Astro forum. I’ve now removed the colour cast and some of the light pollution gradient although this wasn’t entirely successful.
