Description

Well I would like to apologize to all of my Texas astronomers... Apparently, when I purchased and received my new ZWO ASI2600MM Pro camera I wasn't aware that it came complete with 2 months of clouds, rain, wind, and full Moons... Luckily I shouldn't be purchasing any new cameras soon so we should all be safe for now! I am however planning on purchasing some narrowband filters... I apologize in advance for any bad weather that may result! ;)

I can honestly say that I have never experienced anything like the weather this summer! All I have to show for the past few months is a measly 3 1/2 hours on the M102 (NGC5866) the Spindle Galaxy in the constellation Draco (the Dragon). Though the integration time is shorter than I prefer, I was very happy to see that it was sufficient to bring out the amazing bluish jets on each end of the galactic disk! Have a look; I think they're pretty cool!
