September 4, 2023 by Hersey

During my EAA session on 09/02/2023 I observed the Elephant’s Trunk region of IC 1396, but it was not framed very well. Last night I decided to capture some more data centering on IC 1396A to frame the nebula better and to…

It finally stopped raining. The temperature was in the mid-70s and the sky was mostly clear. Of course the nearly full Moon rose just at dark. Even with the full Moon I wanted to take advantage of the clear sky to do…
