Description

Another morning, another imaging session near my university's parking lot, and a surprisingly cold one at that. In fact, the forecasts I checked the evening before were ~10°C warmer than the actual temperature! This time, I had my 3x barlow and the right plugs to avoid using the power strip with my Power Tank.

Notes:

There is a complex of small rifts on the North Equatorial Belt, starting at the central meridian and stretching eastward.
Oval BA and the STB Ghost are rising.
The Equatorial Zone is orange.
Oval BA has lost its red color after having it for over a decade.
