Of course if we are going to have a nice clear night it has to have a very bright Moon. Waxing Full Moon about 86% full. Clear skies, maybe a few thin clouds with the temperature in the upper 70s with a…

The forecast for the night was not great, but it was fairly clear just before dark. The temperature was in the mid-70s and the humidity was not quite as bad as it has been. I uncovered the scope hoping to capture a…

After a couple weeks of a whole lot of clouds, Sunday was a nice night. Temperatures in the mid-50s, clear, and only a little sliver of a Moon. It has been a bit since I collected any light in the SV503 (been…

A bright nearly full Moon, a mostly clear sky, and a little cooler than it has been. The image on the AllSky Camera looked like it was day time out even after Sunset due to the Moon being so bright. Not the…

It is galaxy season! It was a nice night for observing. A crisp clear sky and temperatures in the mid-to-low 50s F. Not a lot of humidity in the air, so seeing was nice and dew was at a minimum. Last nights…
