It has been a difficult winter in the midwest. This explains why I have posted so few blogs through the winter months of January and February. We have had snow on the ground since Christmas and when it was clear, viewing was marred by a bright moon or severe cold.
Astro-Imaging has also proven to be a challenging task, especially in the cold of the winter. I am new to the prospect of taking deep space images and I have not been granted the luxury of sitting outside for long periods of time to figure out my image train and the incredible complexities of polar alignment, focal length and imaging with my new SCT 8" scope. Infact, it has been a frustrating venture especially when you begin to add up the amount of money spent to take my love for astronomy to the next level. It takes time and patience, both I will have more of when the air warms and Spring brings promise of longer session outside under the stars. Eventually, everything will click and progress should come with more ease and success.
Still to come, my first images using my new image train, new reviews and hopefully the conclusion of my Messier object catalog project.
