Wind stopped, clouds disappeared and after one mishap I was able to do some AP work last night.

Here's my attempt at M97.

Good for you with the weather Gordon, and great image! Funny, I think your winds came here today; 50-60MPH all day.

Hope the nice weather continues for you and all the best,

Nicely done Gordon!
I'm going to try a few hours on that and M108 before the moon rises.

Nice image Gordon, M108 is now a target for me too, once the skies allow.
