Telescope: Meade LXD75 SN6

These are cropped images taken from my first and most recent observations of Z CrB. It’ll be neat to see this star at both its maximum and minimum as it swings between being the brightest to one of the faintest stars in the field. (Note that my first observation was about a full magnitude past Z CrB’s last minimum.) These images are a lot of fun to blink and it’d be nice to get enough images to put together an animated GIF.
