Here's a minimally processed look at the data I got from my imaging session last night: this is the North America Nebula (NGC7000) from my light-polluted skies in middle TN. (I used a light pollution-reducing filter, which helped a LOT.)
It's a beautiful, cloudless night here, and I got all the new gear working properly, so I decided to try my luck with the North America Nebula. So far, so good!
Good morning, friends! I hope everyone has a peaceful day! Image: Un dimanche après-midi à l'Île de la Grande Jatte by Georges Seurat (painted 1884-1886)
First night out with the new “travel” setup! There’s a lot of new gear there, so I mainly wanted to make sure everything worked (it does!) & to make sure I could reach focus with my shortened imaging train (no go — by the time I added a spacer I needed, the clouds had rolled in)
Good morning, Maks!
Good morning, Maks!
Good morning, friends! Ran out of milk, so no cappuccino today 😱 Instead, I brewed a pot of this excellent coffee from Onyx — it was absolutely outstanding, like all of their coffees! (Recipe: 31 g beans to 18 oz water)
