I stayed up almost all night. The seeing was never great but I did get a few images. Not great but, I'll post FYI.

Hi Jim,

Nice image. I was going to try the same, but the warm bed was too much to overcome. smile

Clear skies,

Jim,

Is it true that the worst night of imaging is better than the best night's sleep? Maybe that saying had something to do with fishing...HMM. Nice image of Jupiter considering. We are predicted to get clear skies for a few days, maybe later this week I'll climb out of my warm bed and try Jupiter. grin

Hello Jim

The image is actually quite good. BTW, how many images did you stack?

Regards,

Chris

Hi Jim -

Very nice! I have yet to see a moon transit this apparition. Thanks for sharing the view.

That is a very nice image. I am glad someone is getting at least decent weather.
