Description

Pretty happy with the amount of dust captured in less than 2 hours from a Bortle 7 backyard. The RASA wins again.

The sky started out mediocre, FWHM about 3.5. That improved toward the end to 2.4, a number I haven't seen in a long time. Then the Moon came out. Sigh.

Dropping everything above 3.3 cut out 1/3 of the data, I captured 1000 frames.
