Description

It has been one of those decisions last evening. Shall I go and set up the gear? Or will there be a chance that all the effort will be done for nothing in the end? Clouds were rolling by from west despite the weather radar was clear. But I decided to go. Despite that right now only nautical twilight will prevail during the session and also the fact that we were only a couple of days after full moon I first did go for Messier 97. After the moon was getting higher I slewed over to Messier 3 and gathered some photons on that cluster as well. Despite all the hurdels I can live with the current result.
