M33 - first 2008 trial

This is my first (and last!) image of 2008. I played a bit with the duration of the individual exposures in order to maximize signal to noise ratio. Got better s/n than in 2007, but was plagued by a freezing CCD.

The shed is there! (Sept 2008)

Maybe I am getting old, but I grew tired of carrying the hardware in and out....
