How cold is too cold?

Posted By Mike Clemens

My refractor sat through a spell of -35F this Winter. I am not sure I would want it to get any colder, but I am not sure when I would make that call -- and how I would remedy the situation as it dropped into the -40's...

I have personally ventured out at -25F but I would not consider doing that very often.

> THE FIRST and ONLY time I've EVER seen a -40 set point achieved

Bah! I get that all the time up here when its 10 below : )

Love the photograph. Amazing no darks or flats, imagine how buttery smooth it would get if you shot sequences and calibrated them!

Mission Accomplished!

Interesting object, would like to pan around this in 3D and see what this tail structure is shaped like.
