About a week ago, still high on the euphoria of actually imaging at last
with a serious camera, and finally getting results easily, rather than messing around with the quirks of modified webcams.....I was quickly
brought back to reality....]
I had imaged nearly all night in the dome, and in the hour just before
dawn it had begun to sprinkle light rain.
I thought, bugger this, I'm staying in here and processing this stuff right
now, I'm not letting a bit of rain stop me.
So I grabbed the dome door and walked backwards into the dome while
holding the door.
It's a tricky operation, heavy door, walking backwards down stairs into a dome, in the dark.
I tripped, fell backwards, skinned both my shins and dropped the door,
which started a few dogs barking.
Good times..
Beautiful Helix Leon,
Steve
