Open and Globular Clusters
Another warm, clear night. Temperatures were in the mid to lower 70’s and it was a little less humid than the night before. My plan was to try to pick up a few more of the Messiers over in the area of…
A warm, humid, clear night. Temperatures in the mid-70’s and lots of mosquitos. If it was not for EAA I probably would have been eaten alive. I started out the night with not much of a plan, but I did want to…
A warm day and a warm, in the upper 70s, clear night. I set up to capture a few globular clusters for my Messier Log and I ended up observing a total of 8 Messier globular clusters, a couple of nebula, and…
Last night we had the first clear skies in a very long time. I think it has been 10 days or so since the last nice clear night. Clear skies, mild temperatures in the lower 70s, and just a bit of humidity…
First night I have been able to do a bit of EAA since the beginning of the month. Clouds, work, grandkids, and just life in general has kept the cover on the scope for the past few weeks. Last night was mostly…
The sky was nice and clear. Breezy with gusty winds at times during the early evening, but the wind died down as it got later. The temps were cool in the mid to upper 40s F. Had a great night EAA observing…
The forecast had not looked very promising last night. It was suppose to be mostly cloud but just before dark the skies were mostly clear so I put the Celestron C6 SCT on the mount and balanced everything. The skies stayed pretty…
I picked up a new camera, the ZWO ASI294MC Pro, and these are the first EAA captures using it. The ZWO ASI294MC Pro is much (way much) more sensitive camera than the SVBONY SV305, and it should be since it cost considerable…
A nice clear night. A little cool in the lower 30’s. There is a little bit of a breeze and an occasional gust. Great night for some EAA. I was able to EAA observer several objects listed on the CloudNights February 2022…
Weather is suppose to be decent for the near future and we should have a few clear nights over the next week or so. The telescope is set back up in the drive way and I took advantage of a mostly clear…
