Ad Astra Observatory

One for the blooper reel.

This is just a single subframe. On a good night, I take 6-10 of these. On a poor night, I get more like 3.

Sometimes, I get to keep every subframe I shoot. Other times, I have to throw several away. If I had a 100% repeatable process, I could determine if “it’s just a poor night”, but usually I blame myself. 🙂

I don’t know why M1 is being cranky. The scope is a bit close to zenith, and pointing a bit closer to the house than I generally like, but *shrug*, we will see if the next subframe comes out.
