I shot this under good skies, but there was strong wind.

Great shot! Can't complain!)) Though you could blame the wind.) When it's clear here, the gusts are so strong you can't even shoot the Moon, let alone deep-sky objects.

Thank goodness PHD added the multi-star guiding feature... I don't know how, but even in strong wind, the stars don't come out trailed... only this saves the situation now.
