Very nice Alfred! That filter combination works well. My sky looks like yours does this morning, hopefully I will get to image later on today.
Hi Mark,
By the time I reply to your posting, it will be about 8:50 am at your location. Hope you have clear skies for imaging.
Today, I was reminded again that it may not look good in the morning and the forecast may be bad, but there may still be an opportunity for imaging.
Today is one of those days where I was really not sure if I should go to the observatory. The forecast was rain. On my way to the observatory at 7:04am, it looked like it was going to rain (1st picture). The 2nd picture was taken at the observatory at 7:20am, it did not look good. Then came a less cloudy window from 7:50 to 8:10 am which I was busy recording. No time to take photo of the sky. Then clouds gathered after 8:15am when I was setting up the H-Alpha equipment. The 3rd photo was taken at 8:50am when I decided that the clouds would not go again and started to pack up. The clouds stayed and they covered the sky at 10 am (last photo). Finally it rained at 1 pm. Lessons learnt again for me: Get ready to image even if the sky is covered with clouds in the morning and even if the forecast is rain.
