No luck for clear evening skies. Wish for chances of viewing the inner planets dominating the western skies at dusk.
But here comes an uncommon object for the early morning. The unusually bright nova in Cassiopeia, the Nova Cas 2021. It's light curve is special and in the last few days it brightened to mag 5!
Thankfully it was quite clear in the early morning. Went down to the Serangoon harbor. After shooting the lined-up three gas/ice giants (Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune), I mounted the small APO on the tracker. Today the ASIAir box worked so well with the tracker, the main camera and the autoguider camera.
I did not have high expectations for the exposures -- the target is in far northern hemisphere -- quite low altitudes from Singapore, and the misty/cloudy extended horizons add much to the problem. Plus, it was fast approaching daybreak. So I only collected less than 30min worth of subs.
