... and we've been seeing a lot of clouds roll in around sunset lately. Beautiful as they are, they have made our astrophotography pretty much impossible.
But on Tuesday evening, the sky looked promising, and we set up the telescope in preparation for a photo session.
Dan recently bought a filter, which helps with the ambient light - porch lights and street lights in the neighborhood. We think it's helping a lot.
We started shooting the Pinwheel Galaxy around 9:30 p.m., and finished around 11:00. Since the skies were still good, we decided to pick a second target, the Eastern Veil Nebula, and go for it, as well. It was after 1:00 a.m. when we finished.
I have been a little discouraged, because I was failing at editing our photos properly. But last week I found an astrophotography app that worked for me (Star Tools), and bought it. I haven't worked on the Pinwheel Galaxy series yet, but I'm really happy with the outcome of the Eastern Veil Nebula.
