A few widefield shots from Lucksall

Date

Joined a few friends in Lucksall at a small star party.  A couple of decent nights, the best was greeted with significant dew problems for the cameras.  Took a couple of widefield shots using astrotrac and Canon 40D combination.  Alignment could have been better but it’s just nice to get something after the summer break.  Here’e two images; double cluster in Perseus and the area around Sadr in Cygnus.

The Lucksall site has some good dark skies and some excellent facilities.  The image below shows one of their pods which are very comfortable, dry and warm.
