5.10.17 -- Thursday

8:30pm to 1:15am, A clear sky, though the seeing wasn't as good as hoped. Rhys and I there to practice on the ODK with Rhys' SX CCD camera on part of the Heart nebula. It has a small chip so only the central part, and in Ha too. Lots of time spent in getting things right, much was my fault, good practice though and finally a result, but not long enough to exhibit. The Moon was full too and not to far away, though that shouldn't adversely affect the result much. A good evening's practice. This was the first time for Rhys, with a not so simple mount and telescope.
