A truly lovely night last night with no wind and very clear. Perhaps just a hint of high haze but good none the less for nebula in RGBH
If if not for the trees and I could have kept tracking all night. I think a tall tower is required and that would be perfect
EAA was enjoyable with the 183mc . I should upgrade to another version.

And then the dew returned, the harbinger of autumn appeared briefly to encourage shutting down.
I hope many other folks were able to take advantage of the good conditions. 
PS, I have inserted the very small thumbnail of Omega Centauri (which is all that is allowed here), to illustrate how Sharpcap builds an EAA image. It is certainly not an example of the quality of the Live stack output file. |
