Jim,

Just goes to prove that sometimes the best time to observe is when the body says "no". I sure wanted to stay in bed this morning when the alarm went off at 1am, I pulled myself out of bed, washed water on the face and almost went back to bed when I felt a significant breeze blowing outside. I imaged anyway, and while I haven't processed anything yet, I could see a bright blue cloud on the terminator...so I have my fingers crossed for something nice.

Very sweet image you posted!!

Hi Jim,

Excellent image, the mono and color looks to be working very well.

Thanks,

Excellent image! I guess this one makes up for when the CSC predicts an excellent night and it turns out turbulent instead.
