| Notes |
Seeing
and transparency average, guiding better than average. Light
pollution is getting too great in my area with all the new
business and shopping centers. This object is really too faint to
do it justice from my backyard. After adding the second night's
data, I really saw no difference between 5 hours and 8 hours worth of
data. |
