ASIGN Observatory II is back on track!

[Barry]

Congratulation. A big job well done. Next is to have your toys up there.

Soon mate...soon.

1. Telescope installed - fire extinguisher fitted as priority!


2. Preliminary calibrating on the moon.


3. "FIRST LIGHT" through the ASIGN Observatory II telescope! A very quick shot with only the DSLR on the scope, but enough to check the optics.


4. Crop and different processing of the above.

All the cameras and cables installed now. Mount aligned to the planet's axis and ready for imaging. Now to wait for that pesky moon to go away and have a clear night!!

1. The mighty photon hunter!


2. Looking out to the heavens.


3. Peering into deep space.


4. Watchful warrior.

YAY!! Finally imaging again! Clear night, no moon, no clouds and DARK DARK DARK SKY!!! Going for Messier 42 - The great Orion Nebula tonight!

I've been out of the deep space imaging game for a couple of years now, so this will be interesting trying to re-learn everything and apply the last two years of regular photography processing skills.
