Brief EAA because of clouds

Forecast were good. As I started setting up I saw a few clouds and by the time I started observing, clouds were everywhere. I still did a few stacks (through passing clouds).

The idea tonight was to shoot planetary nebulas and to use the OCA from the binoviewers as a low power barlow.

Using nova.astrometry.net, the OCA with the 24 mm adapter gave me 0.6 arc sec per pixel, therefore it gives me 1.27x or a focal ratio of 6.35.


Observations:

  • M57 Ring Nebula - Lyra
  • M13 Great Hercules Cluster
  • IC 3568 Baby Eskimo Nebula - Camelopardalis
  • M97 Owl Nebula - Ursa Major
