New try of the Pacman nebula

2014-10-28

The weather is driving me nuts! Two weekends straight it has been a Venus-like atmosphere. Me and Jakob have wished for a sky free of clowds for three weeks now and we really had hopes for the coming Friday. This was going to be the first real astronomy session of the year. The weather this week has been good so far with clear skyes both day and night, but the weather forecast is now talking about clowds just in time for the night we planned for. This is humiliating! 🙁

In the absence of the real deal I made a try this Tuesday from my balcony again. The main goal was to try out the new field flattener which arrived last week, and I must say the difference from the last picture is clearly visible. Can you see it? 🙂

I really hope now that the weather will be a little better from now on because the sky quality is mostly limited from Älvsjö!
