Notes/ Conditions |
Notes- It has been a rather poor spring and start to
summer for imaging this year. The above image was taken on two
different nights in between clouds. There were occasions where low cloud
filtered across. The seeing was 6/10 with wind gusts. New 2" Ha- Halo free
filter is great, no halos any more! |
