Description

My sky has been cloudy for a while. It was completely cloudy the entire day. Tonight I went outside around 9:30pm and the sky was clear. However it was definitely not dark because there was a bright almost 3/4 Moon up washing out the sky. What I could image was limited. I wanted to use my 8 Inch Newtonian Astrograph because I collimated it yesterday and I wanted to see how I had done with the collimation by imaging with the scope. I chose the Double Cluster as a target because it is relatively bright and it was about as far away from the Moon as I could get.
