Description

I somehow managed to forget my extra batteries and charger on the trip to CSSP so by the time I got the DSLR set up I realized I only had a tiny amount of battery life left. I quickly eyeballed the star-tracker towards Polaris, turned it on, focused the best I could and and did one test exposure for 60s before setting the intervelometer for 99, knowing it wouldn't last that long. I ended up getting 20 shots and was happy I got what I did. Will give it another shot next year!
