Small prom, March 8
      #2242853 - 03/07/08 07:33 PM Attachment (23 downloads)

Not a lot going on today, but I thought I'd give some imaging a go. It's Saturday morning here, so I had to make the choice between getting up early enough to beat the heat (and poor seeing) and having a sleep in.
The score: Sleep in 1, Imaging 0.

What is this 'snow' of which you speak?

Presumably you get nice crisp skies over there, Stephen, when the snow stops.

Sometimes sleeping in is a good thing, but your image still looks great!!!
