I imaged with the 10 and 12-inch LX-200's at the Florida Imaging Centre using a couple of MX7C cameras. The 10 & 12" scopes each had an f/3.3 compressor to cut down on the focal length.

I did a bunch of flat frames for both 10 & 12" scopes while Jack played with his telescompressor on the 16". Then it clouded over, so we closed the roof. I finished processing last night's images on the computer and then checked out the Carnegie Atlas of Galaxies that Jack has. By 1am it was clear again and the moon was getting low (and orange) in the west. I could see the fog rolling in so it didn't look good. I imaged a couple of globulars while the moon was up.

I polar aligned the 7" in the wee hours but was unable to operate the MX5C off the same computer as the MX7C, so I gave up on it in order to keep the 10 & 12" scopes pumping uninterrupted.

After the moon went down the fog seemed to disappear. The transparency improved considerably, especially in the south. There was no fog and stars were visible right to the tree tops! Wow! Lots of dew, but great transparency. The zodiacal light was quite pronounced with Spica right in the midst of it. At 05:45 cloud started to come in from the SW. Low temperature was +17C!

I topped up the exposure on NGC 2024, 2264, 2997, and B33.
