Description

I was hoping to start the new year off with a few hours on a good target, but my autoguider wasn't cooperating, I couldn't see my first target at all, and I even broke the zipper on my best wwinter coat. So much for the good start. Plan B: point the scope at the Cone Nebula and hope for the best with short, high-ISO exposures. The result is kind of mediocre, but at least I wrestled an image out of a bad night.
