New year party going on in Auriga: the whole gang is having a pool party
The new year began with a clear night - awesome! That clear night had to be discovered, though. Because in the valley where I live it was misty but, I was confident that driving up the hill to my preferred spotting place would unveal it. On my way there I, however, doubted as the fog actually got denser instead of thinner.....
Only 30mtrs below my spotting place the sky suddenly became visible, awesome! It was like standing on a small island in the middle of a sea where tide is constantly rising...... kind of thrilling ambiente. It approached and pulled back every now and then. Beautiful in a way but threatening also....
Finally after 2 hours of tidal waving the fog finally decided to swash over me. End of the game! Within just 5 minutes all my equipment was covered with ice. Thanks to heating all optical surfaces remained operable but, where to look at now???
See the image on the right, this is what it looked like from 4m distance only! Lol
So, this is what I could collect during that short period of time. Luckily the Hypergraph is a fast system ;-)
