Ad Astra Observatory

I rebalanced the scope so that it’s balanced rather than purposely off-balance.
I also added a 12v fan to the scope to hopefully help control dew. We’ll see if it does anything. It plugs in instead of the focuser, so that might be a little irritating long-term. If I end up with a lot of 12v stuff again, I can build a little 12v power strip up top.

I shot a few flat frames, too. I moved the lightbox right up to the front of the scope, and picked up 16 frames while it got dark.

I killed about 5 mosquitoes. They are getting slow. Or numerous.

Back to Virgo.
