Flats taken
Darks 300s -20℃ (take tomorrow) / 0.35s -25℃ – DONE
22:00 – 07:00
First thing tonight is to complete taking the darks from yesterday, so I need 20 x 120s -20℃, but also the flat darks I forgot for the 0.35ms flats. Then I will move to taking longer images tonight. The challenge with open clusters is that you need short exposures so you don’t oversaturate the stars.
