Back to EAA from the backyard
Used a different anti-slip tape on the EQ platform. Tracking ended up being very jumpy which forced me to stay with 0.2s and 0.5s exposure times. Also took new dark and bias frames.
Observations:
- M63 (Sunflower Galaxy) - Canes Venatici
- M106 - Canes Venatici
- Failed to find/see Abell 39 (low surface brightness planetary nebula in Hercules)
- M13 (Great Hercules Cluster) - Hercules
- M57 (Ring Nebula) - Lyra - without filter, could not stack with filter
- C6 (Cat's Eye Nebula) - Draco - without filter, could not stack with filter - too small for details
- C15 (Blinking Planetary Nebula) - Cygnus
- Briefly tried C27 (Crescent Nebula) - Cygnus - but could not see without filter and with short exposures
- M27 (Dumbbell Nebula) - Vulpecula
- NGC 6939 (Ghost Bush Cluster) - Cepheus
- C12 (Fireworks Galaxy) - Cygnus
- M4 (Crab Cluster) - Scorpio
- M5 (Rose Cluster) - Serpens
