07/03/2022 – EAA – Clouds
July 4, 2022It has been a while since I have been able to get out with the scope. It looked like it might clear last night, but that was not the case. I set up the SV503 102ED scope, got everything cabled up, and…

June 19, 2022Last night the sky was mostly clear. It was also a bit cooler than it has been in the last couple weeks, once the Sun went down it cooled to the low 70s pretty quick and was in the mid-60s when I…

June 5, 2022I uncovered the scope in the late afternoon and hoped for the sky to clear, it mostly did. Mostly clear night, a few high thin clouds moving quickly across the sky, temperatures in the lower 70s. My plan was to hunt for…
EAA – 05/29/2022 – A Few More Messiers…
May 30, 2022Another warm, clear night. Temperatures were in the mid to lower 70’s and it was a little less humid than the night before. My plan was to try to pick up a few more of the Messiers over in the area of…
EAA – 05/28/2022 – Just Looking Around…
May 29, 2022A warm, humid, clear night. Temperatures in the mid-70’s and lots of mosquitos. If it was not for EAA I probably would have been eaten alive. I started out the night with not much of a plan, but I did want to…

May 21, 2022A warm day and a warm, in the upper 70s, clear night. I set up to capture a few globular clusters for my Messier Log and I ended up observing a total of 8 Messier globular clusters, a couple of nebula, and…

May 18, 2022Last night we had the first clear skies in a very long time. I think it has been 10 days or so since the last nice clear night. Clear skies, mild temperatures in the lower 70s, and just a bit of humidity…
EAA – 04/22/2022 – CN April Challenge, a Messier, and a Galaxy or two…
April 23, 2022First night I have been able to do a bit of EAA since the beginning of the month. Clouds, work, grandkids, and just life in general has kept the cover on the scope for the past few weeks. Last night was mostly…
EAA – 03/05/2022 – Galaxies, Clusters, Nebula
March 6, 2022The forecast had not looked very promising last night. It was suppose to be mostly cloud but just before dark the skies were mostly clear so I put the Celestron C6 SCT on the mount and balanced everything. The skies stayed pretty…
EAA – 03/04/2022 – First Light for the ZWO ASI294MC Pro…
March 5, 2022I picked up a new camera, the ZWO ASI294MC Pro, and these are the first EAA captures using it. The ZWO ASI294MC Pro is much (way much) more sensitive camera than the SVBONY SV305, and it should be since it cost considerable…
