What a fantastic weekend. I'm glad you managed to get imaging done - it would have been a little disappointing if there was none.

Great pic.

I was wondering about the dark hole in the nebula, I did calibrate tje image by applying bias, flat and dark field. So it should be true. I then checked other images and it is there on them too.
