04/24/24 Sun in CaK
Still not all that warm here, a balmy 5C (42F) when I headed out this morning to Hamilton, Ontario, aka Hammertown. Then the drizzling rain started.
I got in at 1:30 to dull skies. Imagine my surprise when I went to look out the back door a bit before 4PM and saw some blue skies between the fluffies. Worth a shot or 2000
I managed 2 sets of 2000 frames in half an hour. Not the best conditions, it is what it is. I took the best 30 frames from the first run; I was surprised at the quality graph in AS3. And please excuse my crappily drawn arrow...
Hopefully something more comes around soon. I was getting used to all this activity, and the next two days are supposed to be clear as well. I hope so; there's so much I need to try out!
All the best and clear skies,
"The Hankmeister" Celestron 8SE, orange tube Vixen made C80, CG4, AZ-EQ5 and SolarQuest mounts.
Too much Towa glass/mirrors.
