Clear night at last

[cutepetgroomer]

Tonight looks promising for me. I haven't been stargazing for a few weeks due to rain. But tomorrow night is supposed to be cooler outside. I am considering just forgoing a night . Anyone else do this when they been waiting but it feels muggy outside but clear skies?

Most years I am with more than my fair share of clear skies, last year was 28 clear nights in June, this year though has been a bit of a letdown (10 so far). I often do not bother when the Moon is very close to full and if the seeing is awful. Lately though I have grabbed what I can.

i try to grab every clear night whatever the conditions, there is always something to look at. unfortunately our busy life styles dont always allow it.

And there was me being delighted at getting half a dozen sessions a month......

Well I did decide to do a little bit last night. I wasn't out for more than half an hour at most. I using my 70 mm tabletop telescope along with my 40,25, and 20 eps. I did get into focus a small brown color object that didn't have the same characteristics as stars do, it was bright though, as if reflecting from the sun. I'm not sure if it was a star or a planet like object. But it was interesting to see. I was also able to view some star clusters as well.

It was very foggy on the coast of Finistere last night. Tonight was much better - almost a horizon to horizon milky way from just after dusk until now. The clouds have rolled in, but not before I managed about 15 subs on the North American Nebula and 40 on M13 with a 400mm lens on an Astrotrac. Fingers crossed that I can get something for my effort - I seem to struggle with RAW images and any stacking software.
