I think it turned out great no matter what your conditions were. We also have one of those night ski areas nearby, but fortunately they are not open all night long.

m82 revisited

Nice shot. This is the object I was working on before the snow set it. One of these days (weeks?) I'll get to add to it.

M31 - Ancient photons with a resurrected classic

Nice. I like what you did processing the core, as that is usually burned out because it is so much brighter. (It almost needs to be boosted back up a bit to look like M31 again.)

Nice image and nice dome. How long does it take to set everything up?

NGC2264 - The Cone and Foxfur in Ha

Nice shot. I sure understand about those weather challenges this time of year.

Nice shot. I think it is interesting that the two appear to be slight different shades on my monitor. Must imply that something different is going on in each one. (Unless that was some processing trick?)

NGC 1398

Very nice for a "sketch". (Sounds about as long as I usually get to image something anyway.) This is an interesting galaxy and deserves more time if/when you get a chance.
