| Exploring the galaxy |
It was a good weekend camping at Rowans Ravine, though our campsite was plagued by a nearby streetlight, still i was able to capture some decent images of the night sky. The real problem that night was not the clouds, or the cold temperature nor the wind. It was the dew! Yes dew is major enemy of any observer,. In less than an hour after my rig is up and running, dew started to form on the main scope and on the guide scope. I heard the pings of the guiding software complaining of losing the guide star. I checked, the skies were clear, not a cloud in sight. When i check the main objective, it was dripping wet with dew. The humidity was so high that night that i had no choice but to pack and and go to sleep. Less than 10 decent images were taken and that was it. Though it was stll fun,. I had a great time just looking up and watching the Milky Way rise.
