The night of Jan-19 saw overcast all the time, contrary to what the forecast told me. Clear skies finally came upon Singapore in the Jan-20 dusk, also to my surprise since the forecast said differently.
Shot a few targets before clouds rolled in. Biggest lesson learnt today is that the dew heater on camera isn't an appendix. In the end, the damage to the data could not be fully repaired -- I had to learn and practice new techniques to fight the uneven images.
It turns out the Rosette nebula data were relatively easier to handle -- probably due to its brightness and localised feature in the image.
I guess despite my blunder the result is still better than expected.
The Gemini gems image is a different story. Fainter, features in different locations. Difficult to correct. Very disappointing that the jellyfish nebula is badly visible.
Lastly, I revisited the idea of shooting some asterisms. However I had to shoot between the clouds. Today's pick is the Canis Minor asterism. I just managed to shoot 3x1min before the skies all turned overcast.
