3 hour eagle

Last night Paul Haese invited me to do some narrowband from his dark site. After work I packed up my stuff and started the drive down. I got about 50 minutes into the trip and realized that I left my laptop at home and would have to go back for it. On the way back I got a puncture in one of my tires. Around this time I conceded to the astro gods that I wasn't going to get down there.

Instead I decided that I wasn't going to let this get me down and took some hydrogen alpha from my house.

This is 3 hours of 20 minute subs taken with my 8 inch F4 Newtonian on my heq5 pro. I had the QHY9 cooled to -35 (dam it was cold last night).
