Description

It was a perfectly clear night in December, my autoguider was tracking well, and I captured over 4 hours of great data on a new target. Or at least that's what I thought until I tried shooting flats and noticed the camera running unusually fast. Turns out all of my frames were JPEGs, and the night was a total loss. I had to start over in January.

On the bright side, I reframed this version shot to include M36.
