2019 goal

[dannybgoode]

My goal is simple. Actually get out and use my kit! First step is today and get everything together, I started a couple of months ago so most of it is around. 

Need to them re-familiarise myself with it all and then see where I get to. I have the Synscan WiFi adapter on the way so will make sure that’s all talking to everything as it should!

This is a really nice challenge.

I started something a little similar at the beginning of last year, with the aim of imaging all the Messier and Caldwell's I could reasonably get from here. My reason was simply to broaden the range of objects I viewed as I'd found myself just visiting the same old favourites each season. I only take about 5 or 10 minutes worth of subs, just enough to see what I've got, but it had definitely helped me broaden my viewing habits. 

Good luck.

How many did you get?

I plan to resurrect one of my astro projects this coming year - or rather three mutual ones.  Single widefield, narrow-band imaging rig, on DIY mount in micro observatory all remote controlled from my living room.  This might go in stages though.

So far 55 of the Messier's. Fewer of the Caldwell as I started those a little later. 

I'm hoping to get back to this in the new year. I even cut down a couple of conifers in the garden this autumn to give me a lower view to the south.
