Yet Another Cold Night!

As I type, my fingers are still numb. :)

But I did have a pretty good night. No viewing, just imaging.

My first attempt this evening was Jupiter, yet again. But I did manage get some better images.

Now these are pre-processing. I'll update with some post-processed images later.

This one was the 1st attempt this evening:

This was attempt #2: I call it Jupiter-2. Not to be confused with the Space Ship from Lost in Space. :)

No bad, eh?

So after these I thought I would try something a bit different and went for the Andromeda Galaxy.

I tried for sometime, and although I could see stars, I could never get the Galaxy in the FOV (Field of View) of the camera.

So after many attempts, I decided it was just way too cold (somewhere around 45-50 degrees), that I would just pack it in. Packing up I did. Now I don't know what made me look, but I took my flashlight and took a look at the lens of the scope.

Even if I did manage to see it, my images would have been a waste of disk space. There was way too much dew.

So good thing I quit.

Now too warm up. But the scope is pretty set, that I may just try the galaxy again tomorrow.

This time I'll use my focal reducer so I don't need to keep swapping my camera for an eye piece, I can jus us the flip mirror.

Check back again soon. I may just have some new images!!

Clea Skies and Good Night!
