Description

Posting some older images so I can see where I came from. From observing notes May 10th, 2020:

Was messing around a bit last night with my acquisition automation software and decided to take a few subs of Messier 51 aka the Whirlpool Galaxy before the nearly full moon rose and the clouds rolled in. I’m really liking the new astro camera. This is only about 30 one minute exposures. I’m looking forward to doing some projects that are closer to 15 hours over several nights this summer.
