February 27th Deep Sky

Post by MapleRidge »

Hi all...

I had a nice deep sky session last night...after a day of strong winds and blowing snow the winds let up enough after dark to image.

I have posted the images on my Flickr page:

The skies were clear here early this morning but wasn't able get to the scope and beat the clouds, so plans for solar work did not work out today.

Alexandra, my deep sky work is pretty rudimentary but nice to be back at it more this winter. Was long overdue ;)
