As it turns out, 2018 was not a very good year for observing. The weather was most non-cooperative especially with Hurricane Michael ruining 2 star parties for me. Finally, a good observing night! Despite accidentally turning off the power from my battery to all the downstream hardware (camera, mount, computer, etc.) it’s been a great night!
I was able to observe until around 2am and then decided pack it up, drive home and get some sleep.
Clear & Steady Skies!
