Jkulin Posted November 2, 2020 Author Share Posted November 2, 2020 Well a bit more green/blue for this week, so here’s hoping, looks like it may have to be NB because of the big cheese in the sky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carastro Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Wind seems to have died down a fair bit now, earlier it was really strong. Fingers crossed. Will go and set up scope and Samyang piggy back soon.Carole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevS Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 No hope, cloudy, windy and raining, other than that no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hallingskies Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Well, have set up on IC59/63, hoping to grab a few 600s Ha frames through the murk and moonlight. First time out for over a month. Already had one frame photobombed by an airplane... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPK_Astro Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 A green slot has appeared for later this evening on CO. The challenge is it's Monday and on Mon and Tues I am up at 5.30am and a long day.Promise for the rest of the week - hope it materialises as October was a zero clear nights month and September had one.

Carastro Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Am imaging, but it's a bit windy, so daren't take the dome off the walls.Won't be able to do the target for long as it is very high and will pass behind the dome very soon, but this is mainly a test to check my spacing is better since I tweaked it on my Esprit100. Looking promising so far.Must look for another target that is not so high in the sky for tonight.Carole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hallingskies Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Another frame, another aircraft. There is a little Piper PA doing some night flying over me. Wish they’d b off elsewhere. Conditions excellent but the Devil’s Lightbulb is washing out IC59/63. Probably an ambitious target given the moonlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hallingskies Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Dome drive slipping. The rubber drive wheel on the motor worked its way loose, just cranked it up with an Allen key, seems to be OK now...Cost me a few frames though. Serves me right for being too lazy to look at the remote monitor... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveS Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Nothing doing here . Moon's too bright, and there is thin haze washing everything out . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hallingskies Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Packing up now. Will be interesting to see if I can pull the gamma cas ghosts out from the background moonshine. If the forecasts hold I can hopefully carry on grabbing some Ha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padraic M Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Looking good here for the rest of the week, but tonight is a bit too breezy, cold and moonlit. Good luck anyone trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkulin Posted November 2, 2020 Author Share Posted November 2, 2020 Unexpectedly clear here, but the moon is smack in the way, so working on a new NB for tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkAR Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Moon is bright but I’m pointing away from it on the Bubble. First two subs look pretty good. Can’t post them up as I lose Wi-fi on my laptop when imaging. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

don4l Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Got some good data on SH2-171 earlier, but switched to SH2-205 later. 205 was clearly affected by the Moon, and wasn't worth pursuing, so I've called it a night. I'll have a look at CdC tomorrow to see how far from the Moon both targets were. I have a strong suspicion that the amount of haze also plays a big part, but there wasn't much of a halo around the Moon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carastro Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Will do some flats today, and see what I got last night.Hopefully can continue with same target/s and take the dome off so i can image at the Zenith tonight.Carole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
