Description

Never liked the traditional witch head composition, always think the upside down or horizontal composition looks way better.

And for the night, every capture is an adventure. After receiving the new scope, I rushed for a "quick session" for the witch head in my camping site. Acctually I captured around 5 hours of data. but had to throw around 70% of them out because of cloud and moon in the late evening. Another lesson is remember your flat panel/ipad! I forgot to bring the tablet to the camping site, and decided to take the flats back home, nothing can go wrong, right? Not when you accidentally turned the CAA before taking flat and can not remember the exact position to turn it back!!!  This created a huge pain in the butt in later calibration.
