Finely, a clear night here!

And you guessed it, the new filter is onboard in my filter drawer.
Long delay to imaging because I’m after the Jellyfish Nebula, then the Monkey Head Nebula.
They won’t be at 30° until around 21:30hrs or so.
So here I am, twiddling my thumbs.
Always waiting, waiting for the Sun to go down, waiting for clouds or a storm to pass, or waiting for a subject to rise.
So, being the impatient self that I am, I changed course and I’m going after the California Nebula right now. Then I’ll add back the Jellyfish. and maybe the Monkey Head.
Longer winter nights allow for more targets.

First subs are really good so far!

And the results are in:

California Nebula. Laid on the left coast.

Monkey Head Nebula

Mount malfunctioned and didn’t get the Jellyfish Nebula.

ASI2600MC Pro camera.
These are 50 each of 2 minutes (120s) exposures.
I was trying out my new Svbony SV220, Duo-band 3nm filter. I like the results.
Stacked in ASI Studio, no other post processing.

It was a one-night flight. :roll_eyes:
Then clouds and rain again. Just got to sit it out, sigh!

Sunday here should be clear. I’ve sat out worse. I’d bet we all have. It took 2 whole months when the clouds caught me with my new (then) mount.
Going to be gone to a Niece’s wedding till Sunday anyway.

We’re getting hit by a cyclone over here (but we’re safe :slightly_smiling_face:). It’s been pouring nonstop for two days straight! Sadly, 47 people have died and 21 are still missing.

From what I found, Yep, pretty much the same thing.

Sorry, Nikolai.
We went to Japan to visit a Grandson and his Family there, September. They were having a Typhoon. So, we walked down near the coast to see the waves breaking on the rocks.
Near, not to. We chickened out while he ventured forth to get Grandma some pictures with her phone camera.
He came back soaked from the spray…

Yeah, pretty much the same as @PIEJr mentioned—the location makes all the difference. I came across this picture of those regions.
The rain finally cleared and we had bright sunshine today, but other parts of the island are still dealing with floods and landslides. Sadly, the death toll has climbed to 334, with nearly 400 people missing.

Man that is sad stuff. That is more then what we lost from Helena last year. I don’t think they will ever recover all the bodies.
