A couple more from Petts Wood - BE Cam and NGC3642 and friends

Two more shots during the spell of clear - but with bad seeing - weather that came to an end this week.

That's an interesting reflection nebula!

I'm glad you mentioned the recent seeing.  I noticed the same thing on those clear nights - my guiding was definitely worse than normal.

Interesting images Roberto, Marcel Drechsler is a hard act to follow from Petts Wood, he has access to some amazing equipment and very dark skies.  But nevertheless you got some of the faint nebulosity.

Well done.
