Description

First target selected using my new Astroimaging guide that ranks targets (currently around 50 of the most popular) based on their height above the horizon at midnight on any given month. I had to wait a week or so for a clear night near the new moon but then got 2 good nights in a row. The first night was after a very heavy rain day with temperatures hovering around the dew point so dew was a constant issue and the scope and camera looked like they had taken a bath in the morning. I flipped around 11pm and went to bed hoping for another 4 hours of data but when I checked in the next day, the computer had reset at midnight stopping capture. Night 2 was much more successful with 8 hours of data captured.
