arcturus

Newer Older

it was dodging clouds out tonight, so not much in the way of results, however, the tracker continues to improve. (me figuring out how to use it)

the camera mount and the other fixes helped a lot.

this is a ninety second exposure and there's no discernible smearing (to my eye).

    not sure. I think maybe andromeda would be fun. I'm intrigued by things that are big, but that you can't really see.
