Fog

Fog

I had only 1 hour of clear sky last night that quickly turned into fog. I still decided to test out some things and point the scope at the Pleiades, the most iconic star cluster in the fall sky. In the end I had to throw away most of the subs and try to work with 1 hour of questionable data.

There’s a lot of noise and some weird artifacts but it’s still cool to see the bright blue nebulosity appear around the main stars.

With Taurus up I’m hoping to image both the Crab Nebula and Jellyfish Nebula. While I wait for clear nights I’ll probably spend some time cleaning my mirror, figuring out cable management and continue to design the observatory plans.
