Description

I had a wonderful night up the Bruce Peninsula at Cyprus Lake campground. The sky was very dark, and it was the first time I had been up that way. Just me and a few overnight winter campers.

This is a 2 frame mosaic of 2.5 and 3 hours in the frames, each image at 6min. I fussed with focus as I have acquired many suboptimal (blurry) images a few times over the past few months, and I think this mosaic is close to the best that I can acquire at the present time, with oodles of room for improvement. Still need to work on basic polar alignment, but my new guider continues to work well. Still learning lots with post processing.

Happy to be out in the dark night enjoying the outside.
