Description

The nights have been clear but seeing has been mediocre on account of smoke. I've continued to plod along when conditions don't seem hopeless and the latest target was Abell 33. I think my collimation is still off a bit but the poor conditions seem to prevent me from doing a better job using a star. I'm starting to give serious thought to purchasing the Ocal collimator.

Aside from the wonky stars, my little 6SE still managed to tease out some details. Processed in HOO (Fornaxx's dynamic HOO formula) and added RGB stars.
