The evening started of so lovely. The air was warm, there wasn't a breath of wind, humidity was low and seeing was steady. Transparency was poor but that's to be expected in a high pressure weather system.
The evening was great right up until the moment I stopped imaging. Almost as soon as I had finished cloud moved in from the north and because there was barely a breeze it wasn't going to move any time soon so I decided to call it a night and get to bed early for once this week.
Location = Bragan
Equipment = 14" Skywatcher, laptop, webcams.
Start Time = 20:48
My imaging results were varied, I wasn't completely happy but it's another step in the learning curve.
I was feeling pleased about the capture I had of Venus only to realise that I still had the monochrome cam in from imaging the moon, whoops.
The image of the moon was hit and miss. I made a few silly errors in shutter speeds and camera gain, which resulted in some inconsistent colour tones across some of the image. I also got a bit hungry and decided to have a nibble at a few parts of the moon, I do apologies but could you imagine my disappointment when I discovered that it wasn't Cheshire cheese!
As the clouds were rolling in I did have a view at Mars, a few double stars and M3 but the views weren't anything to write home about so that's all I will say about them.
Finish = 23:20
