[Peyton-observing] July 23 and 30 Observing??

[Robert J. Vanderbei]

Here’s the picture I took this evening…

It’s a stack of about 200 twenty-second luminance images, and 18 twenty-second R, G, and B images.
I will probably tinker with the processing over the next few days.

Originally, I said I’d help out tonight.
I can still come if I’m needed.
But, if I’m not really needed, I think I’d like to stay home and take a picture of globular cluster M92 as the
seeing is forecast to be “good” tonight.
If I’m needed, let me know and I’ll abort my imaging session.

Hi Jim,

Now that it’s summertime, I can probably find some time to help out.
As it would be my first time, I’d just be a helper while someone with experience
runs the show.

BTW, a few nights ago I took my 5th image of Barnard’s star (over about 2 years).
I calculate the distance to be 1.823 parsecs.   That’s only one percent off from the
correct answer.   Here’s my webpage with pictures and description…

Is anyone up for running sessions next lunation? I have had several
inquiries, so folks are interested in coming.

Please let me know asap.

thanks
