Thanks to all who provided feedback! Having your work appreciated helps all of us on those nights when:
- You forgot to charge your battery; or,
- You forgot to bring your field flattener; or,
- The right ascension drive seems to be a little out of whack causing the periodic error to bee too high for a good image; or,
- You spend an hour and a half setting up, drift aligning, and focusing only to see the clouds roll in; or,
- You spend two hours going through check lists, packing the scope up for a drive to dark skies on that weekend with a new moon only to find that your clear sky clock shows pure white; or,
- You just can't seem to get the scope to focus properly; or,
- You have a wonderful dark night and all your equipment is working perfectly, but the wind is just a little too strong for your mount/scope.
Recording the night sky--whether it be through a CCD camera, a DSLR, a sketch, a web cam, or on film--is a time consuming and often frustrating experience, so the encouragement is much appreciated!
