Description

LBJ National Grassland is about Bortle Class 4 area. Still used Optolong L-Pro 77mm for shooting the nebula. It's was too windy and the Star Adventurer can't stay very stable. This could be read from the guiding chart. So, as the result, there are some little "tails" created by every single gust wind blow.

Right now, the main issue is how to obtain sharp focus. Two parts, micro-step focus control and Bahtinov mask is required to visually verify the focus. Will try next time.

This place is much closer than Fort Griffin from Dallas county - cut the driving time for about 4 hours round trip. Like it.
