This is the first image I made with the RASA 11, having waited over four months for a clear, moonless night. Such is the UK weather these days.
The conditions were not good. I had to grab images between cloud masses drifting across the sky, and the transparency was very poor.
Hence the image quality is not brilliant and I'm amazed it turned out as well as it did.
