I know we have a lot of smoke in the air, so I didn’t know if Eagle Bluff was going to happen tonight or not.

I will be there for sure.

Most of the photos turned out really blurry. Really tough to focus when it’s mostly cloudy, but I’m pretty happy with what I got.

I managed to get that on my camera too. Mine camera is facing directly south, near Chester Woods park.

Anyone up for Observing tonight?

However I may not be able to attend. Not sure yet.

I think my camera has some hot pixels I need to work out when processing. But, here’s the Iris Nebula, NGC 7023!

Fingers crossed the weather holds up. If we don’t hear anything about EB, we can always do Root River.

I did grab some photos of the Horse Head, but I noticed some of the smaller stars were a little out of focus. I’ll still post it later this week. Got to say, that CGX mount is very impressive.

Looks great! Anyway, here’s a photo of the flame nebula. This was taken with my new EdgeHD 1100 W/CGX mount. Next investment might be a new ZWO camera, fingers crossed!
