I slapped on the camera just ahead of serious clouds that brought my observing to an end for at least a day, probably more. PST, 1.8x Barlow, Flea3. Cheers.

I got lucky. I was breaking down the gear from an evening imaging session that was cut short by clouds. It was over cast as I started breaking the stuff down and a hole of blue appeared. I doubt it was clear for more than 45 minutes. I noticed it had cleared out a bit just as I had removed the night scope from the mount, so I popped the PST on and got a little observing in. Sometimes things work out.
