Description

Last night (11-23-21) was the coldest night so far this fall at 20 degrees F.  Unusually low humidity made it a comfortable session with no frost up until mid-night. I packed it up then, as the Moon was getting high. I lost 37 frames due to cables in my FOV. I fight with them every time I image objects under 35 degrees off the horizon. A little breeze was also present on occasion but the mount does very well in those conditions.

I also got some good data on the Double Cluster after M 77 got behind the cursed Chinese elm tree. I hope to post the Double Cluster as well. 

Happy Thanksgiving to those celebrating the holiday tomorrow!
