| Description | This is literally the final image captured using my Evo 9.25. The next time I tried setting it up on my deck it fell over. I had accident insurance that covered replacement but not repair, so back it went for a refund. It came after a wonderful night of observing, including two of my best ever observations earlier in the evening of M42 and M51. This galaxy, NGC 3938 is an utterly charming unbarred spiral. My style at the time was to go after "showcase" objects. Unclear why I picked this one. Anyway, SharpCap's timestamp says I finished at 2:20 AM. Was I tired the next day when I set up? |
