Another EAA evening

I went out again starting around 9:30pm and stopping around 12:45am. I set up the telescope very close to the house to not have a direct line of sight to the 52% illuminated moon. 

Unfortunately, the seeing was not very good: there seemed to be some haze or high level cloud and the moon made matters worse. As a result, the pictures suffered.
