Tracker Shots
Finally got some time and clear skies to test the tracker. The light pollution in my back yard is horrible. I think I need to go travel somewhere with dark skies now.

Round Top was only my second 10k peak summit attempt (my first attempt being the nearby Red Lake peak). At Red Lake we were never able to get GPS over 10k ft for some reason. I think we didn’t find the true summit after searching around for a while,
Winter has returned, and with it, a chance to look back on the progress I made this year. M42 was one of my very first attempts at astrophotography! This week I was able to capture 57 minutes of exposure with the telescope, thats a huge increase over January’s 34
Tonight I decided to try something a little bit different. I show a wider field image with an 85mm lens instead of the telescope. The coloring is very red, but I’m not sure how much is due to Light Pollution or not. There are definitely some dusty structures visible.
