| Notes: | This image was taken the night (Saturday night into Sunday morning) the Southern California wildfires started ... the seeing was bad (maybe 4 or 5 arc seconds) as the Santa Ana winds were starting. The telescope was having a bad time tracking in the poor seeing, so I took extra images .... so CCDStack would have enough data to reconstruct a reasonable image |
