Not many clear nights lately. I’ve been mostly working on figuring out a future garden observatory project and listing some stuff I would like to add to my setup (better narrowband filter, autofocuser, mirror baffle, dew heater).

I’ve also started working on improving the backlash on my HEQ5 mount. Last night was a full moon so not worth really to try and image but I still wanted to see if my efforts had lead to better guiding. So here’s the core of the Heart Nebula under a full moon.
