Description

Don't know what possessed me to go out and image The Cone Nebula Jan. 14 and Jan.15 this new year with the temperatures frozen at -35 Celsius (!!!) but with the first clear skies in over a month, what the heck, what else to do in these northern regions (besides Netflix).

Not much went right during these 2 nights, ended up throwing away all Jan. 15 data but managed to wrestle Friday's subs to bring out something decent.

Will I do this again? Nope, will stick to only going out when its a balmy -15C...
