Ad Astra Observatory

First attempt at the Trifid with Veronica. The G11 and the motor focuser are really helping.

It’s so low that I had to wait for it to rise above the doorway of the observatory, then I just let it run for 2 hours, and ended up throwing away 12 frames (of 60) due to the object going behind the pine, the palm, and the roof.

But, 48 frames of 2 minutes is not too bad on the Trifid; I had enough degrees of freedom to make the sky background go dark.
