Description

I think this has unintentionally turned into my longest integration yet.  I've been a bit busy with work lately and have just been hitting go on this sequence for about two weeks.  Unfortunately with colder weather rolling in I think I had a few primary mirror dewing incidents after the rig shuts down and the fan stops.  I thought I was dealing with high thin clouds causing foggy stars but I think the actual issue is a filthy primary.  It will have to wait another week or so before I can clean it.  I've done my best to work around the issue.
