First attempt at B33 with ST-8i

First go at B33 last night through the ST-8i. Poor polar alignment and not enough clear sky time to fix it. One 15min sub (more sorely needed) and that's it. No darks (sorely needed), no flats (even more sorely needed). It was one of those "I'll grab one of that before it dissapears below the horizon" jobbies. LOL!

After the frosting I was getting at -5C the other evening I'm happy not to see it this time, even at -15C which is what this image was taken at. Baking the dessicant canister for 4 hours at 180C seems to have worked.

It's a wonder it turned out at all! Oh well....

Next time - LOTS of data - hours worth coming up
