Good day all,

I braved the cold (minus 25 degrees Celsiuss) to finally image this phase. I realized most of my prior imaging was near full moons.

This required different techniques, so I am glad I got my chance. Backyard session lasting about 35min before my hands almost fell off haha.

Yea it was brutal. The laptop mysteriously crashed with total battery life left still at 2/3. 

 

The next day it dropped to minus 31 degrees Celsius. We had clear skies but I didn't bother to go out. I am not that crazy .
