Joining The Crowd ... August 3, 2022 Prom

Post by Sumpy »

Thought I'd join in and post a couple of pics of the massive prom today - August 3, 2022.

I've moved from my iOptron CEM-25 EQ mount to a new SkyWatcher SolarQuest mount, and things are so much simpler and easier to get going now. It is so light that I can take it out fully assembled, turn it on, and before I can get the laptop ready it has already locked on and started tracking. In this oppressive Tennessee summer heat, its nice to get out there and back within 10 minutes and still have a decent amount of data to process.

Very nice! The prom in your images looks very similar to the visual view I got of it today.

And I think a bit of prom mania is going around here!!

Oh wow I didn't even realize this hit SPOD. I'm honored, and quite floored as I'm so very new to this. Thanks so much!
