Another attempt at faint PGC imaging. This one not so successful. The night had periods of still dew air and periods of wind gusty enough to push the telescope around (having the big dew tube on - like a sail).

12 PGC objects in this FOV: 95980, 95968, 95982, 95970, 95955, 95965, 48896, 48915, 96003, 96002, 683751, 95959.

Because of the gusty breeze the image doesn't exhibit great sharpness or clarity, but still clearly shows these objects which are down to Mag 18.0
