I have posted a 30sec image from GRAS-003 taken after the meeting on tuesday. Amazing how much you get in 30 sec. I used my old account and from log in to log...
Thanks for sharing, Bob. I need to make progress on this project too! We've had a bad patch of weather in New Mexico. However, I noticed that conditions are...
OK. I managed to get three images, 30 seconds each, on GRAS 001, GRAS 002, and GRAS 003. First, I debloomed them. In all three cases, several stars bloomed ...
