A busy night at the darksite 2/2/14

I wasn't really sure where to post this as it's got lunar planetary DSO video timelapse & widefield..

Anyway after some debate we decided to go to the dark site on Sunday evening & after taking a picture of a lovely crescent monn I decided to have another go at the crab nebula which was a failure due to the breeze so only ended up with 3 subs & they weren't brilliant although I did manage to capture M81 & M82 again, just a pity gradients that I can't seem to shift spoiled those too. I got lucky with jupiter with the shadow transit of Europa & I managed to make up a short animation.

Anyway this is a short video I made up of the event, ok so none of the images are going to win any awards but who cares I just love this hobby!!!

If the battery hadn't died on the laptop I would have captured heaps more of jupiter as it was in a good position when I were imaging it. Due to going to a remote location I'm kinda stuck on how to power it. I did buy a 12v charger for it but that didn't work.

 I don't mind doing a spot of observing myself either Daniel but do like to see what I can get when I'm imaging.
