Index Two in the View Observing Program - Late Fall thru Late Winter
(21 objects observed)
00h–09h

A photo journey of my observing adventures with the SeeStar S50 all-in-one telescope/camera.
All images were taken at Deerlick Astronomy Village (DAV) in Crawfordville GA, 33.553879, -82.761069 or
at Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center (CEWC) in Mansfield GA, 33.468865, -83.735319. All times are local.
Two images are included for each target.
First is the initial framing shot with targets labeled; the second is an unlabeled image with slightly longer exposure - this is the "prettier one".
Images were only briefly processed with (1) an auto denoise inTopaz and (2) a curves & HDR tweak in Photoshop CS5.
For a few large FOV targets, Microsoft I.C.E was used to make a mosaic of multiple frames.
