The one clear night dilema..

[Psychobilly]

With only Friday into Saturday looking any good at all for imaging for the foreseeable future...

What would you Image...?

I have an unfinished "project" needing more data of the Gamma Cyg Nebula but I also want to do an ultra wide image of the milkyway from a half decent dark site...

The two options being mutually exclusive

Clearly you need a second set up

Wide Field Milky way for me!

Setups ain't the problem with the CPC800 and "66" in the obs an ETX105 for the field.... and a choice of D200,D50 and KM5D DSLR's DSI I C , DSI II C CCD's and 840k and spc900 webcams there's enough kit to go around... its more an issue of time....

I think I'll go with the Milky way though as its the image you can capture between projects without ruining your appetite...

Get your obs set up and use an internet connection to monitor it, while you're in the field....

Otherwise, I'm with Ant - wide field if its really dark

Forecast has gone down hill

There's nice little low winding itself up and going to track up the channel by the looks of things dragging the cloud in

AAARRRGGGHHHH!!!!

[jgs001]

oh, I was going to say widefield too but that cloud sounds grim.

[steppenwolf]

I with the wide-field camp but that forecast doesn't make me smile too much!

[Psychobilly]

Well forecast has a hint of a few hours clear tonight but I can't for the life of me see where its going to come from after looking at the IR and VIS satellite animations... can see where the next lot or rains conman from though

So off to the "glorious" Gower Peninsula for a night of Hopefully "stellar" wide field imaging with the DSLR's and lenses if not its "moody" night cloud/seascapes instead...
