Fair results last night via Meade scopes + SX Lodestar uncooled CCD in 'fast' mid-res mode on the hottest night so far on some classic deepsky objects - here's M57 - even 10s exposure just reveals the central star and 100s the 2nd star therein
here's M27 planetary in a longer exposure again from my backyard 9 miles from central London [9th largest city in world] so under LP skies with 7.5M neighbours hope for all city dwellers doing DSOs
