Description

I've tried this twice before since the supernova appeared, only to have the fog cut off my sessions at 45 minutes or less. This time I was able to get six hours. I only have a 106mm scope on my back deck, which is my only northern view. So it's a challenge to get details on all but the biggest galaxies.
