The long holiday weekend has been a bust thus far for opening the observatory for its first time - it's been hazy in the evening or downright cloudy in the morning. Sunday night, though, I got up at about midnight to find a clear sky, and spent several hours out in St. Wiggles Observatory, putting the equipment through its paces. Some of the equipment is still so new that I haven't quite figured out how to use it, so it's no small wonder that I didn't get any stunning pictures. Here, however, is an image of Saturn, I got while figuring out the bulb settings on the Canon EOS 20D. Turns out this was 1/200 of a second, single shot, unstacked. Basically a throw away image, but at least I got something to show for all those sleepless hours out in 28 degree weather. (12" LX90 GPS, LPI imager)
