Description

Cloudy November was a month of frustration for all Kuwaiti astronomers and astrophotographers. Two nights however held the promise of a great image. Both nights were in the middle of the work week, but to us that was no excuse, and so with droopy eyes we persevered. I was only able to gather 5 hours of Ha in the first night due to equipment malfunction, and my hope for a full SHO image waned considerably. On the second night however, guiding was the most stable I have ever seen it despite a light breeze and I was able to gather the rest of the data. I wanted to show that a great image can be captured even in the middle of the city, even in a white (Bortle 9) zone.
