Fri/Sat September 3/4, 1999

I imaged on the front porch in Oshawa because I was too tired to go to Oak Heights. The weather has turned very warm (session low temperature was 22C tonight), and the sky transparency wasn't as crisp as last night. In fact at 1:20, as I was imaging M2, it faded away frame by frame. When I looked at the sky, I could see cirrus cloud had moved in! Oh well, the moon was up anyway...

I did M13,56,71,15,2 with the MX5-C camera tonight. My focus was not only good for all shots, but I didn't have to touch it up between objects! (For some reason, the mirror didn't shift during slewing like it usually does.)

M 13 5 minutes (10 x 30s)
M 13, 5 minutes
M 13 in colour: wow!

M 56 7½ minutes (15 x 30s)
M 56, 7.5 minutes

M 71 10 minutes (20 x 30s)

M 71: may need 20 minutes exposure...

M 15 10½ minutes (21 x 30s)
