2nd image from May, 2012

Here is my second image, LBN-552, a bit more difficult to process and capture.

The conditions ranged from good to poor over 4 nights, but
this data was pretty good, so I processed it.

Thise was taken with my newly acquired AP-900, the TEC-140 and ML-8300 camera.

Well, the seeing was good on Saturday evening, then again it WAS the evening that I was present! However, it did NOT meet Floyd Blue specs of SUSTAINED SUBARC SECOND seeing for SEVENTY-TWO SECONDS. Why 72 seconds?
Seventy-two seconds in the minimum amount of time necessary to confirm the existence of an extra-terrestrial radio transmission as noted by SETI. The famous WOW signal met that criteria, BTW. The point source from it has been projected to be from a location near a star in Sagittarius. That's probably Floyd's home away from home.
