I think this might be the best night yet this year!

It was cloudy and extremely windy all day today. But it calmed down and cleared shortly after sunset.

I’m imaging the Soul Nebula right now. Will post it if it comes out okay.

I captured the Heart Nebula earlier, once in a mosaic, and got the Soul Nebula last night. About 3 hours.

Took this last night of the Cocoon Nebula and a wide field of the same area.
