| Notes: | This image was started the night after my cooling fan on the ST-8 had stopped working ... -10c is the best temperature I could maintain. When I got a new fan from SBIG about a week later, I had already taken most of this sequence. On May first I re-imaged the last 12 images from the sequence from the night of 4/12-13 at -15c |
