Thanks Steve.
I was really fortunate to have a nice string of beautiful weather in mid-late September. Nicely made up some for the poor weather this summer.
A little more than a week ago, a nice cool front come through and dropped the temperatures down into the high 50’s at night and low 80’s during the day. No rain, but some clouds at night. Absolutely beautiful weather, but not the best for imaging.
I really needed to catch some good data to make up for last year’s attempt that was badly impacted by the scope glass issue.
I have really enjoyed using a uv/ir cut filter instead of the usual
I really would love to catch 13 hours or more on every target! Datasets are so much easier to process! Such are my skies, though.
I really appreciate your very nice comments! It’s great to have all of the wonderful support from the nice and helpful folks on
Thanks,
Jim
