Space Cowboy Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Clear sky all day and then it clouded over last night! One fleeting capture through thin cloud. Rushed focus. Seeing looked decent but this looks pretty soft. Taken at 22.41ut 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kon Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Very nice Stuart. Details are still coming through. Weather forecast is looking promising for tonight (although cloudy at the moment). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoflewis Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 That's lovely Suart. I got out again last night too - another fight with the clouds, but the seeing was quite good. About to post what I got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Cowboy Posted December 9, 2022 Author Share Posted December 9, 2022 Thanks Kostas & Geof. If I'd spent £2 on new laser collimator batteries I might have got a better image (don't ask) given myself a dressing down. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Simon! Cold, tired and frustrated last night.....just like the good old days 😉 Using batteries 5 years past their use by date is not recommended for collimating a newt! Especially when you've only got one left and the laser needs 3! Having said that I might be able to salvage something better out of this solo capture.....

Rob Best image I ever got was on Jupiter Dec 2010 at minus 15 Celsius so that's the only aspect I'm not blaming 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
