This session started out with mostly clear with the odd passing cloud, but soon worsened to mostly cloudy. I had to pack it in before getting good quality shots. What I ended up with isn't too bad considering the conditions.

Again I quickly setup the mount and scopes after I got home from work and recorded images before supper. The conditions were very good this evening, but with the moon low in the sky the seeing suffered. I played with the exposure time a bit so see if I can get a sharper image. The two ED80 images with no Barlow illustrate what I mean; one has a exposure of 1/15th sec and has less noise but is blurry, the other has a 1/30th sec exposure and is sharper but noisier. |
