Imaging at Calstar

Chris Patel

What a wonderful event, this was my third straight year and it has gotten better each time, even with the rain last year! I arrived early, on Tuesday, there was one person camped under a tree near the field, Hiram Little, but I had the pick of spots anywhere else!

First night was set up , dirft align and working out kinks because it had been almost a year since I had last been able to image but after that I took images each night with a bit time out to cavort with Turley, Carl Larsen, Dan Wright and other local inhabitants!

I posted two images of NGC 253 and M33 on my Flickr site, I will post more as I run through my processing routines -

Thanks to Rob Hawley for his efforts in pulling the event together and thanks to all for making the event so memorable!
