| Description | This is a very challenging object for me to observe because it stays under 24° at its peak, at a point (due south) where trees obscure almost 30°. I have a small window to the SE, where my horizon falls below 20°. I was able to take advantage of it, briefly, here. At such a low elevation, clouds along the line of sight can readily obscure the capture, and so it was here. At nearly 2 AM, I was pleased to be able to capture anything. |
