Cloudy and rainy this week, so what else but ordering images from remote robotic telescopes?

From Observing with NASA. An edge-on view of a spiral galaxy NGC981 in Pegasus . Exposure Time: 60.00 sec: my mount would not be this accurate for a 60sec exposure – I would have to take multiple 15sec images and stack them for the same result. Such is the difference between professional-level equipment and amateur equipment.
