This was my first backyard CCD session from Winchester. The sky is much darker than Oshawa, even with several severe local light pollution sources. The Milky Way is easily visible including the great rift. Not as good as a true dark sky site, but a big improvement over what I'm used to in Oshawa!

I imaged M57 and NGC7076 with the MX7C. 7076 turned out to be insanely faint and even a 40 minute shot wasn't good enough to show here!
