David's Astronomy Pages CCD Images - Session 83 (2005-03-13) Images (S82)   Images (Main)   Home Page   Images (S84)

Notes (S00083)

- 2 hour imaging session in which the main aim was to record crescent Moon.
- seeing was particularly poor, making it very difficult to achieve optimal focus and impossible to record any decent pictures.  Problem is  highlighted by the sequence of images of Saturn. 
- this was the first imaging session since early January - this was mainly due to almost continuous cloud cover, together with knock on issues associated with losing the observatory roof during a storm in mid January (80 mph winds) ,and a later hard disk crash on laptop.
