Description

Let me paint the picture and night for you. I live in Missouri out low last night was -5F feeling -10F with a slight wind at 10 mph but it was our first clear night in several weeks and I wanted to jump on it no matter what. Well I got everything setup after I got off work so I didn't have to try to set up in frostbite temps. So the sun glow finally went away by 6 pm and I thought I was about to start shooting, I was wrong. I ended up having my PHD2 guider failing. So I end up doing a quick fix and moved on to shooting but very cold. Anyway I let NINA do its thing and went to bed around midnight and woke up to both targets completed.
