Did not have trouble stacking like yesterday even though seeing conditions did not look better (they might have been worse: moon was brighter and closer to DSOs). One difference: I did not use the duo band filter.


Observations:

  • Moon: with and without focal reducer - first time with EQ platform

  • M3 (Globular Cluster) - Canes Venatici

  • M53 (Globular Cluster) - Coma Berenices

  • M64 (Black Eye Galaxy) - Coma Berenices

  • NGC 4651 (Umbrella Galaxy) - Coma Berenices

  • M100 (Galaxy) - Coma Berenices

  • M85 and NGC 4394 (Galaxies) - Coma Berenices

  • M60 / NGC 4647 / NGC 4638 / M59 (Galaxies) - Virgo

  • M104 (Sombrero Galaxy) - Virgo
