Observing Report: July 24th and 25th, Cedar Mountain Wilderness

 

Is the weather getting you missing imaging or observing? Well, I just posted my video and post on my observing trip on July 24th and 25th out to Cedar Mountain Wildnerness. It was great thearpy for me since I can't observe right now. Come join me and learn about this marvelous place with a bit of history, ie the Hastings Cutoff and Hastings Pass ie the Donner Party and other immigrants to California; wild Mustangs, and just dark, dark skies.  It's over at Eadsy Astronomy with my sketches, observations and my SeeStar Images from my S50. The sketches and the images are raw.  Here's the LINK.
