Description

One night of 5 minute SHO images. The seeing was not great and the moon was nearby. I also had to deal with wind so my eccentricity was on the high side. Many subs were around .5.

M16 only rises to 46 degrees at transit from my latitude 30 location. It is hot and dusty this time of year west of Austin. The atmosphere was not as stable as I wanted and I had to shoot through a lot of it. Hopefully, we will get some rain and calm winds in the next few weeks and I will try again with my CDK14.
