After 2+ weeks of clouds, rain and a flooded basement I finally got a break in the weather this morning. Not the best conditions, but we take what we can get. Forecast for the next week is more rain and clouds, so it was last night or maybe nothing at all before the opposition.

203mm f5.9 newt, w/ 4x Powermate, TouCam 840 w/ Baader UV-IR Cut filter, 725 out of 1799 frames stacked in Registax 3, light on the wavelets and finished in Photoshop CS.

Seeing was average 3/5 with high clouds sneaking in about 3AM. I think I am finally getting closer on the color, still have a ways to go but having fun. smile

Chase,

Very nice!! At least you have one memory of the opposition. But there will be plenty of opportunities over the next few months to add to it.
