Recently I started tinkering with setting up an INDI AllSky Camera with a SVBONY SV305 and a Raspberry Pi 3B. It is a cool project and since I was able to get it working I wanted to enclose it to make it…

EAA – 02/19/2022 – Problems and a Couple Galaxies

February 20, 2022 by Hersey

Nice, clear, cool, but a bit windy. I had planned to leave the Celestron C6 SCT on the mount to see how the F/6.3 focal reducer would do for some EAA… Well it didn’t. I had nothing but problems: problems with focus,…

February 12, 2022 by Hersey

Was a nice night last night. Clear and warm, in the low 50’s, with a little bit of a breeze. The Moon was pretty bright, about 80% waxing, but still a nice night to EAA observe. I did some testing early in…

Mostly clear skies and upper 30’s. I uncovered the scopes to do a little EAA on a school night. Had a peek at some of the more challenging objects on the CloudyNight’s February EAA Observing Challenge and a couple of interesting galaxies,…
