I was imaging Moon and Mars encounter and noticed quite good seeing so I just had to get the ToUCam out and start downloading some reflected sunlight. This is the first image of the series I took. There were so many famous objects visible in good illumination I just couldn't image them all in the -10 degrees temp. There must be some point of time the laptop display freezes and I don't want to find it out...
