Interesting Session at the Alternate Site

This post is more than 60 days old and may no longer be the most up-to-date content. For event related posts, please check for a newer article to avoid confusion on times and locations.

I travelled out to the alternate site tonight hoping to get a photo of Venus & Mercury. Clouds and hydro wires prevented me from getting a decent shot, but I did snap a couple of interesting photos. One of those photos is of Jim’s new laser/finder apparently burning a hole in the clouds:

Another interesting photo I took was a 20 second exposure of a plane passing through the Hyades.

Unfortunately, the cloud cover was too thick for just one laser to cut through (LOL) and I didn’t get as many photos as I’d hoped. There’s always next time.
