[Chaos-l] tonight

[Allen Davis]

Mark,

 

Really wonderful.  I feel like I am immersed in stars.  A great picture.

 

I enjoyed last night as well, even though I left early.  My shoulder was
bothering me..even though its been better, I think the wind and cold on
Saturday helped to aggravate it.

I didn't stay out too late last night (left about 10:30) but enjoyed seeing
everyone. I bought a Starshoot Auto Guider several weeks ago and have been
itching to try it out, and last night was a great opportunity. I decided to
do my brief test on a cluster Allen had mentioned NGC 7789 Caroline's Rose.

 

Due to the amount of light pollution (i.e., the moon), and how cold it was,
I kept my exposures to 1 minute and didn't bother taking any dark frames.
That being said, 13 minutes of integrated exposure yielded almost perfectly
round stars. The seeing was pretty bad at times so the focus on this picture
looks slightly off.

FYI, I'll be bringing an electric kettle, hot chocolate, tea, and some cups
(sorry, no coffee).  I'll be loading up the truck shortly and hope to get
there between 3 and 4.
