Sculptor Galaxy NGC 253 Oct 25, 2008 trouble with guiding limited me to 12 minutes of exposure. Now I know what they mean by" chasing the seeing".
Date: 10/27/2008
Sculptor Galaxy NGC 253 Oct 25, 2008 a mere 10 million light years away, under poor seeing conditions.
I had trouble with guiding so that limited me to only 12 minutes of exposure. I'd planned on 30 minutes at least, but my guiding kept over correcting.
Now I know what they mean by" chasing the seeing".
