I know the temptation of the Clear Sky Clock. It's astronomer crack. How can I go to sleep when there is a chance of "perfect seeing" and revealing just a little more in that capture of saturn...


I'm glad you got out there to enjoy it, Jim.

I think I'm going to lay off the planetary imaging for a while as I recoup my lost sleep. It's funny how you absolutely cannot automate planetary imaging as opposed to deep space stuff. I'll do one more session when Saturn is at opposition.
