CCD Session S00083
Bullet Notes from CCD Session
Bullet Moon
Bullet MPL 8 Flora - Minor Planet
Bullet NGC 2371 - Planetary Nebula (Double Bubble Nebula)
Bullet NGC 3227 / 3226 - Galaxy Pair 
Bullet Saturn - poor seeing

Notes (S00083)

- 2 hour imaging session in which the main aim was to record crescent Moon.
- seeing was particularly poor, making it very difficult to achieve optimal focus and impossible to record any decent pictures.  Problem is  highlighted by the sequence of images of Saturn. 
- this was the first imaging session since early January - this was mainly due to almost continuous cloud cover, together with knock on issues associated with losing the observatory roof during a storm in mid January (80 mph winds) ,and a later hard disk crash on laptop.
