Most were less than 30 minutes integration with 2 minutes subs.
M101 - M104 - M60 and others.
Thanks Michael, it was a fun night chasing them down. I images several others to get an idea what I can see but they're nothing more than smudges with single 2 minute frames.
One of these nights I will stay on an object for more than 30 minutes. M101 was closer to 50.Hankmeister3 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 14, 2020 4:03 pm "Galaxies galore" is right, Mac. Impressive what you captured given your limited window of opportunity. Thanks for sharing!
I've had nights like that, too, Steve. One image of M42 I captured in late 2018 had four satellites tracking through it! And then other nights I didn't capture a single satellite.Mac wrote: ↑Sat Mar 14, 2020 4:26 pmOne of these nights I will stay on an object for more than 30 minutes.

I just realized, there was not a single satellite in any of my captures, over 100 subs total between all my shots. I thought that was unusual.
Yeah, they're forecasting for tomorrow night to be clear and no evil Orb until 2am.Hankmeister3 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 14, 2020 6:31 pm
BTW, unless the wind is a blowin', tomorrow evening looks like my first real opportunity to get maybe three hours of clear skies without the Moon in a long time. Same skies may be over your area on Monday.
Thanks Jim... glad to hear your wife is recovering well.Juno16 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 14, 2020 10:40 pm Hey Steve!
Really nice work! I am very much enjoying your images!
Been taking care of my wife (she had surgery yesterday). She is doing well.
Very nice images! I am looking forward to getting out soon. I plan to image the M 96 galaxies (I think that I can get six in the fov) and then the Leo Triplet.
Thanks for your images and congratulations on your apod. Nice work!
