Description

This is a test photo of the Leo Triplet taken under skies with high humidity and some high clouds. The skies clouded up faster than predicted and an approaching Noreaster brought in humidity to an otherwise dry day. I am currently trying to explore ways to improve the collimation of my RC Scope and experimenting with a field flattener and figured I would just let the sequence finish regardless of the clouds as I am still experimenting. I know that my scope is slightly out of collimation and that as well as losing guiding periodically due to the clouds aided in my strange star shapes. I hope to try again soon when the skies are clearer and drier.
