    Default Imaging Again Tonight!



    Imaging Again Tonight!

    Good weather, good company in the astrophotography forum and a lot of motivation.

    Wish me clear skies and good luck!

    Started a Wide-field of ETA CARINAE, and Eta Carina close up again

    No real plan tonight maybe after:


    • M16/Eagle improvement
    • hit some galaxies?
    • try some clusters - 47 Tucanae?
    • try the tarantula nebula

    Hey Pete,
    thanks - Hopefully I can get the DSLR back up - the battery died (actually both!).

    I will try to charge it and try again
