While waiting for M82 to rise in the sky I filled in some time taking pictures of M29 in Cygnus. This is a small open cluster set against the backdrop of the Milky Way.
Being very high in the Southern sky this is in an area with very high field rotation so exposure times were very limited on the Alt-Az mounted telescope. I kept to 15 seconds @ ISO 1600 and ended up stacking 20 (car headlights are a particular problem with the telescope pointed in this direction).
