With the cold front finally through, the heat and humidity that have plagued the last few sessions is now just a bad memory. I imaged in Winchester, capturing Comet Hoenig (2002 O4), currently in Cepheus, and topping up the exposure on NGC 7139 (a very faint planetary!). At 183 minutes, it is now my longest deep sky exposure! O4 is moving very rapidly -- across half the frame in 10 minutes before I realized it!
