What are you imaging tonight (Sunday)?

[Russe]

Hi guys,

Just setting everything up. A gorgeous day in South Wales.

What are you planning on imaging tonight with the moon high in the sky?

Since I don't have a Ha filter, I shall go for a GC - working on my Messier list...

M53 is up methinks.

If its like last night, a cloud or 2.....blue sky atm....

[JB80]

I have been imaging the Sun all day, not sure if I have the energy to stretch it to Jupiter and then later Mars.

[DaveS]

Not sure TBH, I've got my imaging rig set up, but I may just do "housekeeping" stuff with taking darks for my guider etc. May have a go at one or two galaxies.

[Russe]

Galaxies with the moon up might be difficult. It'll swallow up the faint outer arms. Believe me, I've tried... The difference is tremendous!!

Unless you'd do NB... Haven't got any filter for my Canon. Don't know if it's worth it anyhow.

[Kirscovitch]

Not going to be able to go out tonight. (clouds make poor targets)

Looking forward to tomorrow night however. Skies are looking good for the eclipse.

Think im gunna spend the evening lunar imaging with my baby refractor, clear skies down in deepest Dorset

[leemanley]

Big ol' moon for me, just getting to grips with making lunar mosaics, another learning curve ..............................

Had a go at M92 last night but was fighting the Moon a poxy security light and a huge bonfire.

[StuartJPP]

The insides of my eyelids...work tomorrow unfortunately...of course it is blowing a gale out here so not much point anyway.

[ChrisLX200]

Yep, breezy here too - and the clouds are rolling in right on time.

If it actually stays clear then I'll be imaging whatever passes my east-facing window... Not much of interest until the early hours. Might possibly have a go at the dumbbell nebula

May just try imaging the moon using my DSLR. Dunno though, near full.

[lensman57]

The clouds at the moment my friend.

Like Jarrod I am all imaged out having been out in the Sun today. I didn't intend to be out for so long, but the intermittent cloud had other ideas! Otherwise I might have been tempted to image our lovely Moon.

[wxsatuser]

Nice and clear here, just watched ISS go over, very bright.

[Epicycle]

M101 with an Ha filter to see what comes up.

[toxic]

gona try and get some globular clusters

Hmm... looks like it will be a clear Glasgow night! between about 01:30 and 05:00. Long night ahead, with coffee   But I'd forgotten about the moon so might have to go for clusters instead. Again. Oh well, see how it goes.

[DaveS]

Gah! I'm not sure anything's going to be visible through the murk overhead. It's clear but there is so much scattered light from the near full moon that there's nothing visible below mid second mag.

[Epicycle]

In case anyone is curious, here is the first 20m sub of M101 with Ha 5nm, SXV-H9 and 130PDS,

Was going to look at panstarrs c2012 k1 saw it last night but went cloudy before I could get an image. Cloudy again tonight just for a change!

I found an interesting target... pity it's cloudy. Anyway, looking at Starry night and using my FOV overlays it appears I can frame both M53 and ngc5053 - that's two globulars for the price of one   Star clusters are good targets for when there's a moon wiping other fainter stuff out. Maybe tomorrow night.

That's exactly what I'm freezing my fingers off for...

[DaveS]

Given it up as a bad job. There's so much scattered light from the moon that even clusters are no-go. I hate London. If it's not LP it's general dust and stuff in the air.
