Fremont Peak Pinwheel

by Philip Terzian

We had a ball up at FP Saturday night. A good group at the pads, near the ranger's house and in the SW lot. I think there were about 15-20 scopes all together.

The weather was good until about 4 AM when it got cloudy. The temperature was mid 40s with RH running 90-96% up by the observatory. No wind to speak of.

I was working on two projects. M101 and the Flaming star. Here is the M101 result.

Great to be out observing again.
