It
cleared up Tuesday night, so I just had to go out! It doesn’t get dark enough until 10:30 PM,
however, so I didn’t have a whole lot of time.
I haven’t gotten a proper image of the Lagoon Nebula before, since it’s
bigger than the FOV of my SCT, so I decided to image that instead. As is usual for the memorial scope, it looked
fantastic, and stacked even better.

love! This telescope is so awesome. I called it quits at 1:30 AM because, y’know,
work is a thing.
