Description

The first 43 frames of Ha were taken at my home ( Bortel 6 ) the second set of 40 frames of O 3 were taken at a remote location ( Bortel 2 ) . It is the site of my clubs annual stare party in remote interior of British Columbia. There was no star party this year because of Covid 19, however some of use went just to get some photons. The problem with this site is that it is very remote with lots of wildlife. There was only six of us there in a 100 acre site so we were widely dispersed. One of my friends called out for help. We went over to help because he was surrounded by a pack of coyotes. Several rocks and red flashlights later the coyotes took their leave. One got within five feet of him. The things we do to catch some faint photons.
