Description

Hello friends,

I was surprised by some clear hours and had very quickly to decide for a target. So I have chosen a relative bright one: The Whale. I thought it might be a good idea to re-visit him after a year, when I imaged it with the Meade LX200 12".

Unfortunately the Moon was also reducing the SNR. But the art is to make the best out of what you have or where you are...

Another issue are the huge temperature fluctuations currently. There is not enough time for the primary to cool down in the first hours of the night.

Please enjoy!
